These pieces are so long I ended up using biscuits and pocket holes to put it together (the biscuits where really to help keep the pieces aligned over the whole 10' length).
Finally got out the glue and every clamp that I own that would open to 18"...
The I flipped the whole mess over and ran the 20 pocket screws home. This worked really well as the pocket screws actually got some squeeze out from the places the clamps alone did not.
I even managed to get back to the piece about 45 minutes after the glue up to scrape away the squeeze out while it was in the "booger" stage.
Up next for this is a cutting to final size, and then lots and lots of sanding. If I can "bump" into one of my neighbors down the street, he has a 20" planer and maybe I can him to let me make a few passes over the top of this; it would sure make this last step much easier....
The 2nd project is not a Kreg project, but if you want to see it check out my normal BLOG.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
