[Woodworkers] Christmas present help needed!!

[Chuck Steger]

Oh, got it. No, I left it on my bench since I had been sanding it so it was
not elevated when I left the shop.

I was thinking more of after it was out of the clamps - i did 4 panels once
- glued them all up, the next day i pulled them out of the clamps and
stacked them on top of each other - the top one cupped like hell, the 2nd a
little less, etc... because i had no airflow on one of the faces.

Jason,

   No, I glued it up flat on the bench. I know what you mean, normally I
glue panels on my Bessey clamps so they are elevated. In this case I offset
the boards by 2" (alternating boards - picket fence style) so I cut two 3/8"
dados (top and bottom of boards) for a 3/8" cleat that ran across the back
to keep it aligned. Honestly, I also thought that would help keep it flat.
So when I glued it, I did it face down on the bench so I could ensure the
cleats were seated in the dados. Interestingly enough, the panel was flat
coming out of the clamps and all day that day. It was flat when I left the
shop that night.
