Wow, Sonny! Your memory is pretty good. I have resigned to not have an
edge sander at this point.

I mostly wanted it to clean up rail and stile joints on the tops and
bottoms. I since have figured out a way to clamp these assemblies that
require very little sanding afterward.


OK, so please share the technique. I'm going to be at that point in my kitchen project soon...err...I mean...eventually.

It is really pretty simple but did take me 30 something years to figure
this out. ;~)

A picture is worth a thousand words.
Basically during normal glue up the rails will end up slightly shy or
proud of the ends of the stiles. This mismatch has to be cut and or
sanded off.

The picture does not show the clamps that hold the stiles against the
rails, this comes after, the pictured clamps are in place insuring that
the outer edges of the rails are perfectly lined up with the ends of the
stiles.

The 4 lighter colored oak pieces are to protect the walnut on the inside
and to insure positive alignment on the top and bottom.
