I'm making a dry sink out of eastern white pine with rough stock obtained at a local sawmill. I only have a 6" jointer, so lots of glued-up panels with biscuits!
Due to daily temperature and humidity changes in my shop (freezing cold at night and running the heater during the day), and the pine still being a bit wet despite acclimating in the shop for 2 weeks, the panels are twisting very soon after final milling and assembly (we're talking hours here, not days).
To try and keep the panels flat until I can finish cutting and assembling them, I came up with this idea. 40-pound bags of stove pellets on top of the panels to push them down flat against the workbench, with some clamps on the ends for good measure.
Any problems with this approach?
