pre-glue up

So I think it was two days ago Tim said I was likely gonna glue up this week.  And then yesterday it was only do "this" one thing and you'll glue up.  But "this" turned into 6 more things, each of which was time-consuming.  "This" included, but was not limited to:  triple checking that the faces of my shelves were exactly flush at the front with the sides of the case.  That was a game of cat and mouse - trim here, check.  oops, too much - trim there.  etc.   Ditto the sides of the shelves were flush to the inside of the case.  More cat and mouse.  At one point I realized the fronts of the case (verticals) still had tiny little scribe lines from my marking where the shelves sit.  I had started sanding with 100 grit and worked my way up to 400 and still they wouldn't go away.  So today I got the blessing from Austin to put them on the jointer just once to shave it off.  It worked pretty well.  But then I had to start the game of cat and mouse.    I swear I had only left the machine at the exact setting for three minutes and when I came back, someone had adjusted it so my first piece over it got chewed it up!!  Yes way!  So I had to recreate that piece.  Luckily it was just a little face piece with a curve but no dadoes or anything.  yikes!    Finally I got to sand everything again at 400 grit and put a coat of finish (shellac) on the insides of the pieces - the parts that will be hardest to reach once it's assembled.   Victory!
The other thing I did today was cut little wedges to go into my tenons on the sides of the case.  I'm using purple heart which I think will look nice with the maple body.
