Hi gang. I'm all freshly new here and have already gleaned loads of info from the forums! I have my very first questions:
I'm finishing building a house (hmmmm.....), and trying to get some very time consuming and tricky jobs finished. I'll concentrate on this one job for the minute. I've joined the timber (Messmate - 100ys old Australian hardwood) using Festool domino biscuits and a boatload of sash clamps. Cumbersome as I want to have single pieces (flowing) around the waterfall join. It's for a kitchen island - the top is about 2350x1300, and the side (to floor) about 1300x900. Thus, I'll have a single joined piece about 3500x1350 to work with. Geez. Suffice to say I'm taking it to a joining factory (that did my cabinets) and they'll do the large straight cuts and the mitre cuts. We will also leave it in 2 joined sections (2 3500x650ish) to make it easier to handle to get it to the factory (really heavy!). But I digress.
here comes the question.....
ill use my Festool domino joiner at 45deg in the mitre to help hold the join, guide it, and strengthen it. We will do this join in-situ in the kitchen. The waterfall side should meet the floor, and will ultimately be screwed from the inside onto the island bench carcass. So how do I clamp the join? It will only be approachable from the outside of the mitre (if that makes sense)?
cheers, Mat

Clamping a mitre for waterfall bench top whilst in-situ. How?
