Default Going to need a bigger bench (and more clamps!)

Spent the week building boxes without topses (all six sides are glued
solidly in place.) The first, smaller boxes weren't a problem....

The first photo shows a 4'W x 6'H box about to have a second back
panel glued in place, the second photo shows that panel glued and
clamped in place (no brads to hold it while the glue dries), and the
third photo shows a pair of these critters in their normal upright
position from the front. All they lack now is sanding/painting,
absorber/exchangers, paint, and glazing. It always bothers me a bit to
buy clear hardwood, machine it to +/- 1/1000, and then cover it with
Latex :-(

Next up: a pair of 8'W x 6'H boxes of the same general design, and -
oops! - that size doesn't fit my 2' x 6' workbench or my 4' x 6'
roll-around assembly cart. I think I'll manage to get by with the
lash-up shown in the fourth photo, but I'm starting to give serious
thought to an 8' x 6' workbench (perhaps with a trapeze)...

....and I'm planning a stop at Menards for another armful of clamps :-)
