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.
