) -> Assembly:
    """Boards glued edge to edge into a panel."""
    asm = Assembly("butt_panel")
    boards = [
        asm.add(Board(f"board_{i + 1}", stock, length=length, width=width)) for i in range(count)
    ]
    for a, b in itertools.pairwise(boards):
        asm.join(Butt(a.back_edge, b.front_edge))
    return asm
