Looks good Don, the frame half at that point is a bit delicate - just be careful when removing from the paper - the real strength will come as the two frame half's are overlapped together.
HI HEINRICH THAT WAS A DRY FIT, I DO HAVE WIDER CLAMPS, I HAVE NOW GLUED THE REAR FRAME PARTS TOGETHER HERE IS PICTURE I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BREAKAGE UNTIL THE 2 HALVES ARE JOINED SO I USED A SCRAP PIECE OF WOOD TO HOLD IT TILL READY, WHAT DO YOU THINK, LET ME KNOW.

Don I leave the frames clamped over the joints on the paper - without touching them - for at least 4 hours. I see on your picture that you have removed the frame from the paper. Was this after the 4 hour-period? Wait at least 4 hours before you do this. We will worry about the other frames when the rear of frame #31 is dry and you tell me it is dry.
HEINRICH 5 HOURS PLUS, WILL LET YOU KNOW TONIGHT BEFORE I GO TO BED ABOUT 9:00 PM USA TIME, YOU CAN TELL ME TOMORROW IF YOY ARE BUSY, I WILL LEAVE IT CLAMPED TO THE SPARE BOARD. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE ALL DON
OK Don. If I understood correctly the frames have been glued and dried overnight. So remove the clamps, remove the frame from the paper and send us another pic please!
1. You can clearly see that the frame is not lined up with the drawing. I have indicated one point with the red arrow, but that gap is right around the frame.
2. You have only clamped over one joint like I suggested. I have marked that with a red tick.
3. As we look at the picture - the joint on the left has not been clamped. I have marked that with a cross.
HI HEINRICH HERE ARE THE 2 PICTURES FRONT AND BACK THE FRAME ON THE PAPER WAS A RE POSITION AFTER I REMOVED IT FROM THE ORIGINAL WILL SHOW IT AGAIN AND IF YOU LOOK BACK ALL THE JOINTS WERE CLAMPED AFTER GLUEING I WILL TRY TO FIND THE PICTURE IT IS ON THIS LOG. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON
