And you use a hammer directly on the surface of your box...no scrap piece to shield the wood from the hammer impact? What is on the inside of the corner guards to keep them being glued to the box from the squeeze out?
Also, it looks like you glued the corner guards onto the box joint, are they meant to be removed? If so, it seems like you should have wiped the excess glue from the outside before applying the corner guards. Unless I totally missed something.
I've a feeling those corner pieces bridge over the fingers and only touch along their outer edges. Otherwise they would glue as you say, and also they would be applying the clamping pressure to the ends of the fingers, which is exactly what you want to avoid (you'll get inside gaps that way. Just my assumptions.
Liked the video, liked your glue up technique. The audio was a bit hard to hear thought at times due to static in the recording. Would love to hear the rest of the tips you were offering. Thank you for sharing!
Just pushing the corners on opposite sides that have sharper angle does the trick for me. If this doesn't work, then you could clamp the opposites corners until they are perfectly square.
You should go back and narrate over the audio in this video. It's hard to hear what you're saying especially when you speak while hammering. The gist gets across, but it's frustrating not knowing if you're saying something important.
Nice video. You might want to use a non marring rubber mallet. They work great!
Ahh that hammer is breaking my soul
Funny little things, I just don't think about that saves time and mess. I'm doing this with my Caulk as well lol. I can't stand Caulk lol!! but glue?

My thought exactly.
What about all the pec marks from the hammer?
I'd tape both inside and outside! Also, use a wooden mallet not a steel claw hammer!
Correct.
I put a quick coat opf poly wipe on to help with the squeeze out.

Actually looking at it fullscreen in HD, I'm certain that they bridge over the fingers. They do seem to get glue all over them though!
ha ha ha
Wax paper under those would eliminate that problem. Not sure why he didn't.
@@robsinHL It would have been safer!

No glue but plenty of hammer marks
"If you've cut things right... it should be exactly square."
BUT... if it's NOT... (Why don't they ever cover that part? Ever? Why?)

Use a clamp going corner to corner and tighten slightly. It will move the opposite side. Check for square and repeat.
Sooo what is the tape for ?
The tape keeps glue off the inside corners, reducing clean-up.
Before clamps clean glue off .Bottom line
