  • Make micro adjustments with a disc sander

      I've never seen this work as well as they claim it does.  If you don't do the same thing to all the pieces, the edges won't line up right.

      I tried this, even though you told me it wouldn't work very well.  You were right; it didn't work very well.  I rounded the miter a bit and made it worse.
  • Knock-off blocks for long miters

      This is an interesting idea!  I want to try this.
  • Customize a drafting square

      Not a bad idea, but I would still check the actual cut.  Practice piece!

      We did something like this on Jack's molding.
  • Your finger can detect differences your eyes can’t.

      Your finger can feel differences of less than a thousandth of an inch!  That is less than .001"!
  • Stop cutting creep

      Interesting.  Don't wet it too much that you damage the piece.
  • The 60-second squeeze

      I'd let the glue tack a little bit before putting the pieces together, but don't wait too long.
  • Notched blocks for no-rush glue-up

      We have some of these.  Matt used them for his molding.
  • Grain match matters

      Good idea, but it could increase waste.  The better look might be worth the waste.
  • Notched blocks for no-rush glue-up
  • Use hot water to soften any paper or glue left on the wood, then scrape it away and sand as usual.

      I used too much water, and it weakened the joint.  One spot actually came apart.  I would recommend using hand tools to get rid of excess stuff.

      I was afraid of that.  We have to remember that the normal wood glue we use is water soluble.  That's why for cutting boards or outside projects we have to use a different type of glue.

  • The secret was torsion-box construction. A torsion box is a simple grid of slender ribs glued between thin plywood skins. It makes these shelves stiff and flat, yet incredibly light. This rigid architecture means torsion-box shelves won’t sag or twist, and they can be mounted without any external support.

      I've never tried this, but I'd like to.
  • 11. Clamp the three shelf components together without glue, so you can check the fit of the miter joints. Use plywood braces to support the upper shelf and hold everything square. 
  • 6. Rout the edges flush. Use a second shelf to support the router and a piece of scrap plywood as a spacer.

      This could be very helpful.

    A cool project idea.

      He mentions a good idea for keeping the mdf pullout from interfering with the joint between the miter bar and the mdf.
