   excellent primer on glue-ups! Surprised how little glue Ed Pirnik uses, and will have to change my ways.....

   This is pretty basic stuff, but it's the basic stuff that we take for granted and just assume we know. Very useful - thanks.

   Interresting hints thought the excess of Titebond advertising is a bit annoying

   Very Good Advice. I was glad to see the sparing use of glue. Nothing is better than good joinery. Glue wont fix a bad joint.
   Well presented.

   On the sliding dovetail joint, if you apply glue to both ends doesn't that restrict the wood from movement?

   That's only a concern if it's a crossgrain glue up. Most aren't.

   Thanks Ben, but just so I understand. For example, if I would joint an edge of a board to a face of another?

   Yes. You would only want to glue one end, leaving the rest of the joint free to move. Likely you'd want the front of a case piece to remain flush, so you'd glue the front. In a panel, you'd glue the middle and let both ends move freely.
