Here's a look at my glue-up method. I'm on to the top board now. I used 3 Irwin pipe clamps to pull the boards together, and 2 2x2s that I planed for smoothness in my Rigid 13" planer, with 4 Bessey Craftsmen bar clamps pressing those into the panels to pull them flush with each other vertically. Wax paper keeps the 'flat bars' clean, and free from getting glued into the panels.
The whole assembly is tipped up here on 4x4s simply so I can get to the underside to wipe away the glue squeeze-out with a wet rag.
