Awesome job! Can't wait to see performance report!

Thanks all! Brad, thank you for the advice; I'm just now seeing your post. I did this glue up the other day, and did it exactly the way you said not to. The end/endgrain of the floor received dowels, and the entire perimeter was glued up tight. Speaking of the floor.. I hate the way I did it...

Thanks all! I did the math and if it takes me 5min, per corner, (conservative estimate) I'll spend over 25hrs rounding/blending by hand. I ordered some radiused cabinet scrapers and sanding blocks, as well as glued up some test pieces. I'll play with the test pieces a bit, but if looks like...
