I think I need to do the kerfing over. When I glued them on, I glued them below the edge of the rims. When I took off the clips they were all crooked and would require me to sand away too much of the rims, making the guitar less than 4" deep at the neck joint and 4-1/2" at the tail block. So, out comes the chisels a little early and scraper and an order for more kerfing and other goodies.
Meanwhile, a recent project with padauk has left my bench plane a little dull and my back plate is still .13" thick in places, so I need to sharpen my planes, chisels and scrapers.
Two steps forward for one step back but I'm trying to be patient and keep my eyes on the goal.
