I am making a bed headboard with two rails and 14 slats between them. The rails and slats were exactly the same thickness. I held the slat to the rail with the Kreg clamp that is like a vise grip with two large flat plates. (https://assets.leevalley.com/Size4/1...clamp-f-50.jpg)
All the rails came out to be raised about 1/64"; presumably the screw going in forced it down a bit.
How can I prevent that in the future.
I wish I had waited to sand until after assembly, as I had to do it over again to get rid of the 1/64".
