Today's join of the clock case waist and base went reasonably smoothly. It's now a clock case. I even had it upright for a brief time. I paid particular attention to making sure that the clock remained straight throughout today's build. I used a straight line marked on the "build table" as my guide. From what I can see, it is still straight. Did a complete dry-run with the screws. Then, removed the screws and glued it up and reset the screws. Not sure if I'm going to proceed right to the seatboard so I can test-out the movement with the case; or whether I'm going to work on the moulding sill and moulding. I also need to plane-down two large pieces to serve as the backplate. They will be only 1/2" and I want them to settle well before putting them on the case. My plan is to join two pieces with many biscuits. Click on photos to enlarge.
