Today I finish-sanded the arches, test-fitted the hood once again, made up a step-by-step game plan for assembling the hood, and proceeded to glue-up and clamp the hood. My wife was a big help in making sure I sequenced everything according to plan. So YAYYY!! The clock hood is glued-up. Later this evening, I will remove the back clamps that held the back arch to the hood sides, and put the backplate back on. Tomorrow, I will add some glued reinforcements to the hood just to be sure it stays-put. I also plan to build the many top-plates to the hood top. I'm looking forward to that and it should be fun. Following that, I hope to get to the moulding over the weekend. Click on photos below to enlarge. Enjoy!
