Hi Tony, so the immediate reason that it will not join is because there are gaps that are too large in several places, like here for example:
Those kind of look like what you get if you do a "rebuild" of a curve with a tolerance distance that is too low.
One thing that may be making things a little more difficult for you here is the small size of the model, it would be better for it to be either 10x or 100x larger in size so that individual features of your model are not so small.
Also another problem is some pieces are not very precisely aligned, like with these 2 surfaces here:
If I separate those surfaces and untrim them, the underlying surfaces look like this:
And then zooming in to this spot here there is a gap between those pieces:
Although that gap is small enough that it will allow those to be joined, it will make things easier in further steps if they were touching more precisely before they were joined especially with constructing more pieces off of them.
