Finally got the latest project to the start of the glueing up stage and thought I'd take the chance to reality check some of my behaviour. 2 questions:
How do you make sure work is not twisted when glueing up? and
How do you clean up glue from around mortise and tenon joints?
so far my solution has been to clamp up the work on top of the table of my bestcombi as the flattest, truest surface I have, then weight the whole think down so that it stays flat to the table.
then cleaning up the joints - apart from the obvious don't use too much glue and wipe it off whilst wet/peel it off while tacky, i use a stanley knife blade to scrape away the excess when set - its the only thing I can think of to allow me to get right down into the corner?
anyone recommend any other tricks or tips?
