"Squish-out" – something you love to see in cookies and woodworking/joinery, but not so much in subways and tailor shops.

Doing some glue-ups and it's gone pretty well today. A bit more cutting and assembly tomorrow and hopefully finishing this secondary workbench build.

#woodworking #joinery #diy

A block of wood is attached to another length of wood with glue and couple of screws. The glue application appears successful because there's some being squeezed out of the joint as it's tightened. It gets wiped away with a damp rag before it starts to set leaving a clean tight joint.

This workbench I'm making is going to use these cute lipstick-red polyurethane wheels (locking) at one end, and adjustable feet with tee-nuts at the other.

Should make it easily moveable, but still pretty solid so that it doesn't move around when you want it to be steady.

No decision on a racing-stripe yet.

A couple of red wheel assemblies are shown, and two black screw-in feet, sometimes called levellers, are also shown.

Remember to add a power strip "just in case", while it's still easy to place cables (the most of my power strips are hanging from the ceiling…).

@GustavinoBevilacqua@mastodon.cisti.org yes, got a spot planned for two of them, and the old laminate desk top I'm re-using has two convenient knockouts with covers at the corners for cords. Should be nicely convenient. 😊😊
