I could use some advice on how to assemble a set of bookcases. I've made a few bookcases or similar cabinets, but they all had adjustable shelves or at most one center support shelf (dado or screws). Simply build a carcass, put a back on it and call it good. My wife want two bookcases with fixed shelves and no visible screws or fill marks. Easy enough, put the shelves in dados and all is good. My problem is how to actually assemble it. It will be 84x36 with 6 shelves plus a bottom (7 dados) and then a top and bottom (where I can use screws). I have 8 clamps wide enough for the 36 inch width and believe I can double up others as needed after that.
I've seen some examples of how to clamp it up and use squares to ensure it stays squared, but I haven't seen any done with 7 shelves. I'll enlist my wife to help with the glue-up (using Titebond Extend). Just not sure how to keep everything square and lined up. It will have a face frame and the rear will be rabbited for the back panel. Those will need to be lined up as close to perfect as possible to limit corrections.
I've searched the internet with no luck. I just don't have a picture in my head of the sequence to get 7 shelves in. Any thoughts?
thanks, Rob
