I'm a little new to the glue up panel process. I have made a few cutting boards, but those are a lot smaller than what I am working with now.
I got the new Wood issue and I am building the TV stand in that magazine. I have glued up all the internal structure pieces but was kind of unhappy with the results. I keep having issues with the boards slipping slightly so my pieces isn't nice and flat.
I have a table saw and a router, but the boards are 2x6" white wood. I don't have a flush trim bit that is that big; so I have no way of jointing the faces.
I checked the table saw to make sure the blade was 90 degrees to the table. I ripped the stock down to 5" wide. Upon clamping, I staggered my clamps front to back and have them evenly spaced from each end.
Is there anything I can do to improve my glue up skill? I would love to be able to make great joints between board edges.
I do not have a planner or jointer.
