The body finished

The body was glued together.
Because being alone and having no time to fumble around I didn't use special clamping jigs but brushed on the glue, knocked together the two diagonal corners, turned the whole thing on one side and jumped on it near the corners to settle it - worked fine because of the thick boards (would not try it with a juwelry-box).

The body ... dovetailed and glued

The next task will be to make some wood-nails to hold the joints together even when the glue fails (in 200 years or so ;-)
