The glue application appears successful because there's some being squeezed out of the joint as it's tightened. 

It gets wiped away with a damp rag before it starts to set leaving a clean tight joint. 14614f67bd50afe2.jpg A bunch of wood pieces, some cut, some awaiting a saw.

It's verbose but here is the text: 
The Dutch American Friendship Treaty (DAFT) is an agreement between the United States and the Netherlands, established on March 27, 1956. The treaty allows US Entrepreneurs and Freelancers to acquire Dutch residency for the purpose of “starting a business”. With this Netherlands Visa, USA citizens can easily relocate to the Netherlands. You can start a brick and mortar business selling a product or service, or you can work in the Netherlands as a Freelancer or a Digital Nomad.

The Netherlands and United States Friendship Treaty makes obtaining a residence permit in the Netherlands as an American very easy. You will need €4,500 to “invest” and maintain in a business bank account. You will need to jump through some hoops with the Dutch government… c9b0206b213d26cc.png
