A new back arrived

The new back piece arrived this weekend from IVC, and.....it's a better fit!! I mean, it's just wide enough so that I don't have to worry about pushing the side pieces in when gluing it in. I am very happy with the level of customer service I received and will be happy to deal with them in the future. As a side bonus, the wood is nicer than the original back that came with the kit. I can't tell how much figure is in the wood but the color is more even across the back.

The next thing is to build a thickness gauge. I went to Lowes today and bought the hardware needed. I have the dial indicator already and some wood. All I need is to find some time to put it together. Once I measure the top and back, I can decide where I need/want to make adjustments.
