Day 2: Cutting the Keyboard Pieces

Now that I've successfully cut the six 1/2" x 5" x 18" pieces on the table saw, I will begin the process of jointing them using my largest clamps (photo below).

I've not yet built anything requiring these large clamps, so it will be a new experience for me using them, which is what this project is really all about. When I'm not working on minuscule parts and pieces, I'll be working on furniture-sized ones. It was late when I finished these up, so I hit the sack and looked forward to Day 3.
