Thanks for all the suggestions and comments.
Ive bought the leather so I’ve continued with that. Had to drive to Perth, so went to carbatec and got some titebond liquid hide glue. It’s all glued up (after glue squeezed out everywhere!!) so we will see how it goes later today!

I found it quite easy to do the glue up with the vice on the bench. Just slip a piece of glad wrap in between the leather pieces so they don't stick together.

Did mine on the bench also. What better clamp than a vice.

Where possible I have this weird thing that while making a tool it helps to make itself. I did this with my bench by assembling the basic frame then added the vice and use the vice while making the rest including the gluing of the leather faces.

I was going to use the vice, but at the last minute decided not to, as I had never used hide glue and it seemed super runny. I’m glad I changed approach - the amount of glue squeeze out was incredible, and I wouldn’t have been able to clean along the bottom leather line in the vice! My mistake because too much glue, but my fix before I had a problem - phew!!
