Assemble Sides to Heel & Tail Blocks and Kerfing

The sides were glued to the heel and tail blocks. I glued the blocks one side at a time to minimize slippage.  The hole for the attachment bolt was drilled.

The glued sides and blocks were fit snugly into the mold and checked for proper width and angles.  A block plane was used to achieve the final configuration. Kerfing was added on the perimeter of the sides to provide space and support for the top, back and bindings.
