You probably thought that there would be shots of the actual glue-up
eh? Lots of gory details and action shots from the front lines...well
there aren't. I couldn't take pictures and
do the glue-up and my photographer was
unavailable for the occasion...So, here are all the shots taken right
after the clamps came off:

1: Clamps just came off. Note wedges protruding on
side of posts. Tape is marked with pencil to make the assembly clear
and ordered. Some of the clamping cauls (pad blocks) are still taped
in place.
2: Close up of a wedged tenon. The glue is still
wet. The wedges have been driven all the way to the bottom of the
kerf and joint has closed up exactly as planned. A good fit.
3: Once the glue is dry the tenon and wedge
trimming begins. I use two tools for this: my little Lie Nielson low
angle block plane and a medium sized chisel; both finely tuned and
sharpened.
