The first 4 pages of instructions have been completed, and as a result of those 4 pages, I have a pile of "lumber"(picture 2) and two wings(pictures 6 & 7).

As I mentioned in the first post, trimming and scuffing is needed, with the struts and the main wing hinges, I trimmed the inside glue tabs about an 1/8 of an inch to make sure the resulting box would be square.
Scuffing the glue surfaces, and testing various glues I have on my desk, was needed, I used nail files, I couldn't find my bag of emery boards.

Next up is the main movement pieces, 9 through 18.
And the main frame for the movement, 19 and 20.
