Project - "Making the Grandfather's Clock - Veneering the Panels" ...continued

Beth now spreads yellow glue over the top side of the MDF panel.
	She positions the burl veneer panel on the glued MDF piece.
She lightly presses the veneer onto the panel.
	Beth uses Saranwrap to cover the top and bottom. This keeps any glue that is squeezed out from attaching to the outer clamping boards.
She has placed the plastic wrapped sandwich on the trim board and is now placing the top in position. These boards will help spread the clamping pressure uniformly on the veneer sides.    You have seen me use a vacuum bag for clamping veneer panels before. It would be great to use here, but we want to show that clamps can work well on small panels, such as this.
	She has clamped the sandwich in the bench vise and is adding a couple of hand clamps to further squeeze the package. She will leave it to set overnight.
With the veneer work done for the moment, Beth turns to work on some of the solid walnut panels she had glued up last time.
	She had never used a cabinet scraper before but quickly finds that it is easy to use and gives a super smooth finish to these small panels.
Here, Beth is laying the glass pieces in place on the front and side frames she had made last week. She will simply mark the outline of each piece of glass.  If you recall, she opted not to change the rail and stile router bits to cut the rabbet. Instead, she will cut the rabbet now.
	She holds the rabbeting bit next to the frame to visualize the cut.
Beth adjusts the router height until the bearing rides against the molding edge.
	She has cut a small portion and now inspects to see if the rabbeting is deep enough. It should be as deep as the channel cut by the stile set.
She determines that the rabbet should be slightly deeper, so she changes the pattern bearing. The bearing set at the left allows her to adjust the rabbet depth by swapping bearings. This assortment of bearing is very handy for use with a lot of pattern bearing bits.
