Gluing Puzzle Joints and Sheer Clamps

The puzzle joints have been glued and weighted down.  Try as hard as I could, I could not force the tabs to line up perfectly.  This means I'll  have to do some sanding, which will remove stain.  It will be a challenge to re-stain those areas and get them to blend in.

The back sides of the joints on the bottom and side panels are reinforced with fiberglass tape.  No need on the top panel because it will be covered with fiberglass on both the inside and outside.

The sheer clamps have been glued to the upper edges of the side panels.  They will help strengthen the joints between the top and side panels.
