I've done this same thing!! I made a beautiful top to give as a Christmas gift to my VBFF and I've been excusing myself by saying I'm afraid to put it together because "she's so picky" she might not like it. When in reality it's that I DON"T LIKE THIS PART of the PROCESS!!! I was getting ready to ask this same question here myself.
Glad to know I'm not just being lazy, others don't find any fun in sandwiching either!! :| :oops:
