Last of the rails clamped and glued on. Saw a helpful tip on Jarvis site and made the rail planks wide and used spring clamps on 2nd piece. Worked great. Letting things glue up rest of day and will get to final trimming/shaping tomorrow. Will sharpen planes up before I start this almost final phase.
