Quick Update

So the other day I worked on the bridge plate/brace.  It was surprisingly very straight considering the overall condition of the rest of them, but it was placed off-center and the string holes were on the edge of it.  I cut out the damaged section, and added a sturdier piece of maple scrap to it.  Last night I popped the bridge off since it was hanging by a thread anyway and it will be easier to do it this way as opposed to trying to get enough glue underneath it.  I got the brace placed where I needed it, and used some screws through the string holes to keep it in place, and then set up a makeshift gobar deck for the edges.  Looking pretty sturdy now.  I'll be reinstalling the bridge in a little while.
