My first time building any sort of furniture. I’m a journeyman redseal carpenter in Canada and spent my career building houses for 15 years and recently started a new job where I have access to a shop and some better tools.
You mean all those clamps? Nah that looks about right to me. The thinner/narrower the boards are, the closer together the clamps need to be.
compared to, say, a glue up connecting 8 inch boards on edge they do.
(wow I’m never posting from my phone again, really had to fix that.)
There were actually a couple spots where I had small cracks afterwards. I could have had a few more clamps on honestly.
