That is correct. Lots of strips, lots of glue. Image

It is how the original was done. I built mine right on top of the old one.

Beautiful work you're doing there!! Can I safely guess that you're re-using the doors, windows and skin, but completely rebuilding the wood framing to the same method and dimensions of the original, i.e. a true restoration?

Or are you making any "personal modifications" to make it work better for your use?

I like the welting on all the corners. It's a nice finishing touch.
