I have 4 pieces of walnut, a bit over 1/8" thick, and about 5" wide and

What is the best way of edge gluing these together?

I have tried clamping, (and taping) but can not see how to keep all the
pieces level with each other. To make matters worse, the pieces are
perhaps +- 1/16" of each other in thickness. I don't have a drum sander,
so was hoping to glue them so one face is in a plane, and to sand/scrape
the other face smooth.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Press them down with bricks

I guess that would be 2 or 3 bricks per board, wouldn't it?

Harvey

Ayup depending on the brick size. How were these cut? Is at least 1
face of each jointed/smooth? What will you be doing with the completed
panel?
Joe

Actually, not completely. I did run each newly exposed face over the
jointer after cutting with the band saw, but only enough to take out any
bad irregularities. The edges were jointed before resawing.

I am veneering the top of a cabinet.
