It was a trade off in the design that I ended up with glued carcase construction instead of frame and panel, which could possibly be done without glue, but I think it was a reasonable decision in the end. Minimizing glue is something that I aim for, and believe in, but also I try not to be too dogmatic about it.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-76025117026110307332016-04-23T18:40:20.104-04:002016-04-23T18:40:20.104-04:00Joe,

It's so easy to overlook a little detail, miss a little piece of debris that got stuck in a mortise, etc.. Added to that, was doing it with the camera rolling, and thinking about whether I have a good angle - and in the above video, where I left my mallet - and the rest. So, if it looked under control, then I was fortunate.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-79629553080550936812016-04-23T17:46:39.111-04:002016-04-23T17:46:39.111-04:00It boggles my mind when I see something this compl...It boggles my mind when I see something this complex going to together without the reliance of glue.
