Each half of the back gets its turn on the shooting board. With a benchhook on one end and stop on the other, the shooting board holds the piece while a hand plane slides and cuts along its long gluing edge.

| Two halves of the back are ready to join. A joining board is used to test fit the pieces. Wedges will hold the two pieces into position horizontally while a hold down strip will keep them from "popping" out in the middle. |  |

The two halves lie face down and ready for gluing. A thin strip of wood lies under the glue seam to add pressure after it is removed and the two halves fall together. |
| The two halves securely joined on the joining board. Lots of clamps are handy. |  |
