using the trick i learnt on here from some ol fella in Pa, using a toothpick to line everything up in the riser area- makes life so easy nowadays
got it into the form, getting the insert sandwiched between the lams at the tip was going to be really tricky- did a few dry runs, with the wood being dry, it was really hard to get it set up perfectly, but knew with the glue bing slippery i could get it to work
so glued it all up, inserted the wedge- about 10# pressure- then with the glue helping i could slide it into the perfect position, , air in small bursts over about 20 minutes- checking that it was well seated the whole time.
got it into the oven- to get up at 3;50 am to switch the oven off!
