Joined all the pieces that make-up the waist front. Reattached the hardware, made 20 slots for 10 biscuits, and glued-up and clamped the front together. My wife assisted as we had to work very fast before the glue started to set. One observation I hope you can see in the photos below, is that the walnut will darken within a day's time. All of the front was sanded yesterday, but the rails at the front bottom were re-sanded today and are lighter than the other pieces - even when wiped-down. I've noticed this phenomenon before on each of the pieces. Walnut will darken with time from when it is planed, cut or sanded!
Since I have other events to attend to, for the next few days I will leave the front clamped-up and will not be updating my site. But just so you know what's coming up next week:

- Attach waist side 1 to the waist front
- Attach waist side 2 to the waist front
- Attach the entire waist assembly into the base assembly
