Just brought in my latest woodworking project. (Still smells like some of
the alcohol in the shellac is evaporating.) Before taking it apart to
finish it, I marked some parts and not others. As a result, some of the
parts are fitting nicely and others aren't.

So when building something be sure to mark everything before you take it
apart.


No point. It's well documented that at least one part will always
change dimensions as soon as glue is applied to it. No one quite
understands how.


that was what I was thinking. I never disassemble a project to finish it
unless the parts are attached with hinges or slides. I may pre stain or
finish panels in a door panel prior to glue up however.
