I had some trouble with the back top board sliding around while I was trying to glue it (of course these things never happen during the dry run), so I decided I was going to use three dowels along the front apron to make sure the front top board stays where it is meant to be. Using dowel centers makes the job quick and easy. #woodworking #workbench #handtoolsonly
With the registration dowels in place along the edge of the front apron, glueing the front top board went really smoothly (no sliding around under the clamps). The only pain was cleaning up the glue spill; I always seem to use way too much glue :-) #TheEnglishWorkbench #workbench #woodworking
With the back and front top boards already glued to the frame, glueing and clamping the middle board took some imagination! #TheEnglishWorkbench #workbench #woodworking
