Building the Tower!!!

Well I have to give it to my brilliant Engineer husband (don’t tell him I called him that!). He gave me a fantastic idea of how to build the tower on my Pierce! The wood glue I use is brilliant but it does take time to dry. Last night I tried to glue a couple of sides of the tower to the top and the bottom. I tried using masking tape and even tried hot melt glue. It was a complete failure – all I managed to do was burn my finger! So I took it out to hubby and asked for his advice. So hubby suggested that I drill small holes top and bottom on all of the side pieces. I then used fine wire to essentially wire all the tower sides together. Once done it was easy to fit the base evenly around each side and glue. Once dried I put the top in and glued. I then glued all the sides. Once it is completely dry I will take out the wire. I’m going to roof the tower with copper, but regardless of what roofing material is used, it should easily cover the holes.
Today I also glued the dining bay. And now that the kitchen bay is perfect and glued, I fit the kitchen bench! I am pretty happy with it! All I really have to do to the kitchen is finish the architraving (however you spell it) around the ceiling.
