Glued and Clamped

Here's the lid panel all glued up and clamped.

 

Note that the "cabinet maker's triangle" has enabled me to quickly and properly align all the strips into the correct orientation.

 

Also note the time chalked onto the panel. This lets me know when the panel was glued up, and consequently when I can unclamp and work with it. When you've got a few glue-ups on the go at the same time, this is essential.

 

I will be able to work with the panel in approximately an hour (or 1445 hours, in this example)

 

(I'm retired military - I think in a 24 hour clock. If you say 2 PM, I have to translate it to 1400 hours for it to make sense to me.)
