These are just 3 multipurpose clamps available through Woodpecker's site, but it felt like a specialized rig designed to make gluing up little boxes like this very easy, and solid.
The formula was lost to the sands of time here when I accidentally knocked the cup of dye over near the end of my painting work.
Just kidding - I could still read it, barely.
To make the boxes a little more professional, and homey, I'm going to use a small roundover bit with a bearing so I can just run all the edges around by hand quickly. This will give smooth, rounded edges everywhere, except inside the box, or on the dividers.
It's very easy with the 4" box clamps from Woodpeckers to get little pieces like this lined up square, at 90s with each other. I was able to visually align things to exactly where I wanted them, press everything in hard, and clamp pretty powerfully with the knobs.
It’s better than a movie night

Gluing things has become a favorite way of building, and I'm sold on the concept of gluing things up with slight overhangs to then be sanded flush. Bringing things to a 400-grit finish really makes edges disappear.
After the glue dried, an hour or two later, I unclamped to reveal a solid little box. The edges are all a little bit long on purpose, to allow me to easily sand them flush, which gives a smooth, invisible joint that clamping alone cannot.
Again, I'd kind of like a big, flat clamp that could press this entire thing from both sides, in a parallel way. Eight clamps is silly for such a little thing, but it was necessary. It took this many to finally see all of the gaps disappear.
A view of the bottom, and the back (at top) of the box. All thin edges protrude a bit to allow sanding them flush with their respective panels. It's a lot easier to sand a tiny bit off thin edges than to have to plane down entire faces, which would otherwise translate to walls that aren't to spec with the rest of the box.
With all the stuff in it, and the TV on it, and with some more drying time to let the stain calm down a bit, and out in a more sunny room, I think this will look very different, and probably a lot better than it does to me at this point.
Mom shipped me an old wooden inlay picture of a mountain scene. The box got a little beat up in transit. The stuff inside was fine. Well, it was broken, but I learned later it was always broken, and shipped to me that way to see if I could fix it, and if so, it's mine. Thanks, mom!
This is what I used to coat everything. This is satin. I also had a can of gloss, but gloss isn't 'country.'
