Hello All,

Well, I finally got the courage up to apply some glue to my panel frames.
This was after I spent a good part of a day sanding all the parts to a reasonable finish.

I was a bit worried about whether the frame and panels would stay straight after the glue-up but so far they seem to be staying remarkably flat, which is what I'd hoped for, but didn't really expect, given the amount of twist, curl and warp I've experienced so far with this wood.
Maybe because it's been sitting, cut to size, for so long it's finally settled into a permanent position.

Anyway, I've got the sides of my desk cabinets done. They're all the same size, which allowed me to batch produce them; a nice way to go since it reduces setup time, which tends to get a bit fiddly.

Now on to the back panels and the face frame for the front. I reckon I'm over half way now...

Take a look at the photos and feel free to comment.

Cheers,
John
