I started assembly on the Hall Tree last night. I ran into some unexpected problems so I didnt get as much done as I had hoped to.
I started with the rear backsplash for the shelf at the top. This one went pretty well. I used my
Rockler Clampit and it did a good job.This is the bottom with the apron in the front. Since the pocket holes are on the inside I put the Clampit on the outside. In hindsight I should have put the clamps all the choice to the inside of the Clampit. I had put them further out to allow me to get the drill to the pocket hole but I think putting the clamps all the choice inside would have worked better. The wood ended up drifting and one of the screws split the edge of the front corner.
I forced some glue into the split and clamped it and you can barely tell now. I just need to do some sanding and after I paint it you will never know.
I got the top shelf mounted, glued and screwed in and I was very happy with the result.
Only the top shelf, backsplash, and bottom front apron are actually attached. I dry fit the rest to see how it looks. I hope to get the rest of it assembled tonight.

New project videos every other Tuesday
I mentioned this in a VLOG on YouTube but I dont think that I said anything about it here. My new goal is to have a project video posted every other Tuesday instead of once a month-ish. I will still be making random VLOGs when the urge hits me but the goal is every 2 weeks on the projects. My last project video was posted on September 24th so the next one will be posted tomorrow.
That is all.

Short update
I stopped by Rockler the other day to pick up another Clampit. I think putting together the first couple of supports on the hall tree would have been easier if I had 2 of them to clamp at the same time. They also had the mini Clampits on sale for $4.99 so I picked up a couple of them as well. If you look in the top righ corner of the picture you can see where I had the pocket screw split the wood. I glued it back together and clamped it but now my wife wants me to stain it instead of paint it. The screw is really close to the surface so I may just pull it out now that everything is glued together. There is still a screw on the bottom half and I dont think it should come loose.

New ASDOO videos
Laney is showing us how to make a 2 sided game / message board. It is refreshing to see that he is still moving forward with his videos even after Google screwed him and closed his adsense account.
