| Well, after days of fretting and lots of suggestions
from friends, I've come to the conclusion that I need to start over. Ok,
lets get on with it!
Here I've marked where I'm going to cut up the cupped panel, right on the old glue lines. I also marked reference numbers so I can re assemble the panel the same way, so the grain matches nicely.
The idea is to correct any adjustment problem with your
jointer. If the jointer is even one degree out, that error can be multplied
many times if the pieces are all aligned the same way. But, if you
alternate each piece, so the angle from the jointer is alternated, then
the angles will cancel each other out, and give you a better shot at a
flat panel. Lets see if it works.

Here you can see the first piece being placed on the
jointer. Note the red "F" going against the fence. Now the mating side
to this joint will be dressed going the other way thru the jointer, so
any angle in the jointer fence will be cancelled out.
|
Here is the assembly, back in the clamps. Notice the
clamps are not all on the same side, but alternating top and bottom. Also
I bring up the pressure slowly on each clamp, and check with a straight
edge as you go.
