Assembling a Waterfall Table Miter

I am so excited about this project. I've got a waterfall table I'm working on and it's ready for the waterfall part, the miter, to get glued together. So up to this point, here's what's cooking. The bottom of this piece and, of course, the bottom of the leg, have been mitered so that, when the joint gets put together, which we're gonna do right now, and the leg folds under, waterfall, look at how the grain is gonna flow from top to leg, top to leg, top to leg. It's gonna be really, really neat. So, cut the miter, got the joinery ready, now to glue it up, couple of tricks to this. This piece is the piece that came out of here when I cut the miter. I then took it to my miter saw and I cut it into individual segments. What happens here, where we're going next is that, when we go to clamp this together , we need clamp blocks on here so we can pull the miter closed. Here's what's gonna happen. Like this. And we're gonna do this with CA glue because, weh, just trust me, we're gonna do this with CA glue, and when we get to the very last step, you're gonna see why CA glue works so well for this. What I'm doing is just taking the corner of the clamp block, holding it a little bit back from the knife-edge of the miter. And then I've got 'em lined up like this because the clamp blocks have to be opposite each other. Little bit of accelerator. Don't go crazy with the accelerator, you don't wanna over-use it 'cause it causes the glue to crystallize. So, light-duty application on the accelerator. And I'm using a medium viscosity CA glue. That spalting is just beautiful, uh? Here's where we're going next. I gotta re-position my stuff, get glue, get the dominoes that are gonna go into the joints, so, in other words, I gotta get stuff, move things around, then we'll come back and start, psht, getting everything put together. That side's ready. Now, on this one, we'll do the mortises and the miter with glue. Now, in the perfect cartoon bubble, this all fits together. Now, one of the things I'm paying attention to before I get too deep on those dominoes is to get the edges aligned here, because it's easy to move now while I'm not fully engaged. It's gonna be harder to move stuff later. All right. Time for clamping. Now, what I'm gonna do is just kinda sneak up on this. Little bit of pressure, little bit of pressure. I'll tell you what, you know, it's a big miter, and when you get to this step, and it closes like this, it's so cool to see. All right, boy that looks good. I'm really happy with that. Now, a good question would be, yeh, I don't really want that feature on top of or on the leg of my table. Once the glue is dry on the miter, we'll come back and I'll show you what we do to deal with those clamping blocks. Easy peasy. Glue's dry, so these guys come off. And then, what to do with these clamp blocks? Here's the thing with CA glue, it's got strength to it, but it doesn't have a lot of shear strength. Shear strength is when sideways pressure is put on something, like this. Kind of incredible, huh? How those blocks can hold so well while we're doing the clamping, but they pop right off when we give 'em that sideways pressure. Last step for this, sanding, and then I can't wait to get finish on, what I think is gonna be, and absolutely beautiful waterfall table.
