I use them often, mostly because my floors are not level.<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-32363233846697361632019-08-09T06:42:03.821-07:002019-08-09T06:42:03.821-07:00"On the bottom I will [...] true for wind the..."On the bottom I will [...] true for wind the area in contact with the base."<br />This is something I failed to do correctly before gluing the front apron to the bench-top (Paul Sellers bench). Then the combination apron + top resist any twisting (which is nice). I had to put a shim somewhere between one leg-frame and the top to get the four feet on the ground (the leg-frames are screwed to the top).<br />SylvainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-72990895620140526992019-08-08T18:00:58.823-07:002019-08-08T18:00:58.823-07:00Ralph,

You can clamp each glue line all the way down the glue up except for this last one and it has a clamp at each end and it stays very close. There will be some flatting once out of the clamps but mostly on the top. On the bottom I will just knock off the glue squeeze out and flatten and true for wind the area in contact with the base. <br /><br />I'll take the clamps off in the morning and will know for sure then but just looking at and feeling it now it looks good.<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-17475284972643179302019-08-08T14:59:04.118-07:002019-08-08T14:59:04.118-07:00How is the alignment between the individual slab p...How is the alignment between the individual slab pieces?
