I'm curious what other hobbyists do, since I suspect the answer might be very different for those sell their pieces. I'm building a bath vanity right now, one of the newer designs that look more like a table than a cabinet. Anyway, a lot of M&T joints and I had a fair amount of glue squeeze out. Not to bad to clean up, but I find myself skipping it in the areas that won't be seen, the inside of the joints and so on. Worse, I've used some less-than-perfect wood (this one is QSWO) and hid the knots and some other unsightly features (including some tear out I got from a hand plane). Heck, I even had one overly loose M&T joint, and I used epoxy to fill the gap! I feel so cheap! Anyway, am I the only one who does such subversive things? To me, I'm the only one who will know....and I'm not really that worried about it. But I do feel I'm violating the honor code of hand craftspersons/woodworkers.
