where I messed up was I thought my wood working skills would allow me to keep it straight without using a flat edge as a guide.

But it could have been somewhere else I read those warnings. But yes I agree with you. what I meant was if you follow the instructions and use those precautions it will be difficult to screw it up. But I have faith in humans and I do understand many of us could screw up changing a light bulb.
Believe me, you're not the first or the last to mess up sanding a saddle. Most of us learn the hard way. I certainly did.
