Loose Tenons, Tight Clamps

IMG_2690.JPG

Initial shaping of the aprons is complete. Final shaping will happen after assembly of the base to ensure the aprons are faired to the legs. So, it's on to gluing the loose tenons into the aprons. The clamp is probably overkill, but I do want to prevent the expanding polyurethane glue from pushing the tenons out. The loose tenons were a nice snug fit, but I prefer to leave nothing to chance.
