It’s coming along. Thursday I managed to get all of the tip done (bottom of the picture) and most of the way to the top.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this point, things got pretty slow. While doing the tip, moving down as well as moving up, I could do 4 planks at a time and have the first one dry by the time I finished the 4th. Then I could start over and just keep going. Once the tip was done, I could only do 2 at a time and then had to wait for the glue. So I kept myself busy making a couple clamps from scrap wood:

This is as far as I got by Friday night:

Today, the bottom is done. Now I can start sanding (oh joy, the fun part :o).

This is interesting. I am glad to see that you found something else to do instead of sitting around and watching the glue dry. That is an impressive glue up. I really admire both your patience and persistence.
Have fun.
