Wow Herman coming together beautifully. You sure do clean work.

Not spectacular, but here the progress on the back. After jointing the plates, I glued them with a b/w/b strip in the Cumpiano-way. Clamped flat and tightened with 3 tapered pins. Special heavy weights. Miterboxes, plane, router and bending iron. The industrial standards.
Centerstrips glued. Before I made them myself, but I can buy them for 2 bucks. They look nice and I have no fun in making them (or kerfed lining)
The braces were made with a 15 feet radius on a radiusboard, and since they need a flat and square glueing surface, I put them over my beltsander. (Check the fitting on the back, before glueing.)
Because my clamps are not that deep, I took the excess from the perimeter off. Better reach for clampng the braces. Not today, due to the humidity here.
Making the centerstrip accept the braces later on.

Maybe it's the 'industry standard' over there, in whatever 3rd rate back-water 'country' you live in, but over here, where there is that thing called 'civ-i-li-za-shun', I actually follow sound practice, by wrapping my cat in clear packing tape, giving her a sedative, and laying her on the boards being glued. She's good for 30 minutes, and her body heat aids in the gluing.
Granted that, some hair does always manage to stick, which is why I only use woods that match her colors, and upon occasion she wakes before I get there and proceeds to sharpen her claws on the backwood. Or worse yet, and this happens about 75% of the time, she pees on the wood first, then tries to cover it up by clawing a mixture of her own hair, still-wet glue and splinters of the back she's clawed up.
But still, it's the best way I've come up with. The first, which was super-gluing a toy Poodle and two mini-Dachsunds together and taping them down to the back joint with binding tape, did not work and I don't know why.

You bored old man. So evolution brought you some Oregon circus acts? I rather not ask what you use for toiletpaper. Hmm, I´m better off here in the swamp.

Re: Florentine Cutaway
You guys are making me laugh.
Herman, that is killer walnut for the back.
Never mind Dave, he is just jealous of your talents in finding ways to weight down your joints. I use the same clamping system for my back and top joining. I made a special board dedicated for it. A great way to clamp the joint.
