"Chamfered"! Couldn't think of the right word there.


I'll bet that you would be just as satisfied with hitting the corners with a
piece of rough grit (80) sandpaper, on a block, then a finer grit (120) in
your hand, all -after- it is assembled.

The reason I say that, is that if you chamfer before you assemble, you will
be reducing the glue surface area, where the wood has already been removed.
It will also give you the chance for one more close inspection, looking for
bad joints, split wood, and so on.

All just my opinion, of course. g
