As I had hoped I would, today I fastened one of the waist sides to the front assembly. After first removing the door, trimming the side to size, and going through a complete dry-run, I biscuited, glued and clamped the side to the front. Had to be VERY careful to make sure the correct pieces were being fastened to the correct pieces, and paying attention to piece orientation. Yikes! Wish my wife was helping me. You can see many markings that served to guide me. I then made-up a bunch of glue blocks to give support to the assembly. I wish I had completed them before the glue had dried on today's work. I will be sure to use them tomorrow when I fasten the second side to the front assembly. Click on photos to enlarge. Enjoy!
