1. Set up the clamps (one every 8 to 10 in.), the clamp pads and the spacers on your workbench. Adjust the clamps to slightly wider than the shelf and nosing.

2. Spread a thin layer of glue, about the thickness and width of a shoelace, along the plywood edge.

3. Press the nosing onto the plywood and move it back and forth to spread the glue. A thin layer of glue should completely cover the mating surfaces.

4. Place the shelf and nosing in the clamps. Feel the joint with your fingertip and adjust the nosing until the top is a hair’s width above the plywood as you tighten the clamps.
