Fixin' Up the Bungalow

Under Pressure

I don’t know about the rest of you, but glue up stresses me out. Even though we had dry fit the doors, I feel that time crunch as soon as I spread the glue.

These doors are only held together by tiny tenons on the left and right beadboard pieces.
The process

1. Set out the clamps and separate the breadboard end to expose the tenons.
2. Glue the tenons of the outer beadboard
3. Clamp it
4. Check for square by measuring across the diagonals
5. Apply diagonal pressure if necessary (Squeeze the long side).
6. Check for square again

Repeated this for all six doors as sweat dripped down.

Took about two hours. Only one door fought us a little.

Here are the three views of the doors drying.

p.s. I was inspired by Sawsust2’s comments to retitle this blog.
