Glueing the sides - part 1

It wasn't a kind of tricky to find the right order to glue the sides.
This is what I came up with:
- First glue the small parts of the waist to the bottom (after adapting them to fit perfectly to the bottom)
- In the same session glue the blocks in the corners (already pre-glued at the ends!)
- form the bottom block and the blocks in the corners to a make the bottom parts of the sides fit
- glue one of the bottom-sides together with the block to the bottom
- fit the other bottom part (seamless jointed on the bottom block)
- bend the upper parts and make them fit in the neck and the side-blocks
- fit the neck to the bottom
- glue the upper parts of the sides to the bottom, neck and side-blocks

Let's see how things worked out.

An advantage of fitting the corner blocks befor e the glue is hardening is that the parts can still be repositioned .Tomorrow we'll see if everithing went well....
