Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Back to work on this project. When I left off in January I was about to veneer four panels for the back and sides. I have the materials for that now but I decided to make the frame for the back panels first. The joinery is a direct copy of the back panel I have on the lower cabinet. The corners are mitred on the show side with a wedged through tenon (not completely fit, yet).

All fit up but not glued or flushed. Next is to rout grooves for the panels and mortices for loose tenons/clips that will hold the frame to the cabinet.

Grooved and morticed for the retaining clips.
And what a retaining clip will look like. This one is an example from the lower cabinet but it is about the same size as the ones I'll make for the upper cabinet.

Taping veneer for the back and side panels.

One panel veneered. I'm using a hybrid approach of hammer veneering with liquid hide glue, followed by a press with a shop made platen and cauls to keep the 1/4" Baltic birch plywood substrate flat while drying. No pictures of the process because I had to move quickly before the glue set.
How it will look when mounted.

Looks like your cauls are around 1/2” thick, at first I looked at them and thought that’s a good idea as they will be easier to make than my much thicker ones, then I imagined them falling over at glue up time. Difficult to see on the pic have you fastened them to a bit of ply?
It’s a useful way of making a large platten.

The thin ribs are glued to the platen so they don't fall over. The ribs are scrap 1/2" x 2" particle/chip board and the platen in 3/4" MDF.
