Another day's work over the weekend so I thought I'd post an update.

Here are a couple of shots just before I stuck the 2 halves of the frame together. No going back now! It's a lot heavier than I was expecting as I got chicken and I've done a lot less lightening around the corners than I was planning. I think i've also generally been cautious when cutting and shaping and at 5mm thick an extra 1mm thickness is 20% extra weight. All up I think we're looking at about 2.8kg for the frame. It looks and feels better than I was expecting so I'm not losing any sleep over it.
There are a few more photos and description on the blog
