With all the assistance I've received thought I should show my progress.
This is a learning experience for me and there are many mistakes but so far none are that critical. Using a lot of techniques that I have little experienced with.
Resawing for the panels (first time I have used my band saw for anything substantial)
Mortice (first use of a morticer) and tenons
Tongue and groove











Sorry about the pic quality. Just ran out to the garage and took a few.
Thanks again to all that have shared their experience.

Looking good.
How'd you end up dealing with the tongue & groove variances?

[Scoly2803]

There were only two of the joints that the tongue was a bit narrow and did not touch on the sides. I cut a micro thin piece and glued it to the tongue making a tite fit. Worked out well.
Your caul suggestion was a life saver. This put the pieces so close on the glueup that sanding to get them perfectly even only took about a minute. Only problem with the panels now is there were a few seems that didn't pull up flush. Will try to deal with that during finishing. Think if I wet sand with the finish it will fill them.
Any suggestions for a better way to fill? The worst is around the thickness of a piece of paper.
Thanks again.
Steve
