The wall are still the same length, minus the tabs.



Back in a few.

Now I have a nice flush corner fit on the walls.

Nothing is glued at this time.





Problem solved. Done for today.

Simple solution that works and will be covered by Durham's. ;D

That works, Tom.

You seem to have misunderstood my fix.  I would, in essence, cut a rebate in the back of the wall reducing the thickness of the tabs, but not reducing their length.

Cheers, Mark.

Nice fix Tom.  I did that once with a Bar Mills kit that wasn't cooperating.

Looks like I'm late to the party! I'll be checking in watching your wonderful work as build another fine structure. Nice fix on the walls and corners.

Mark, Cheers,

I did understand what you meant. I just thought this way was easier than reducing the tab thickness.

I do appreciate the tip though.

Thank you, it was an easy fix. I did consider taking Marks approach but thought this was quicker and easier.

Larry,

It's never to late when the party is still in progress.  ;D I appreciate the compliment and following along.

I glued 8X8s flush to the end of side walls. I then glued 12X12s flush to the inside of the end walls.



When dry, I glued the walls together using two metal squares and quick grips to hold the walls square until the glue was thoroughly dry.
