It was a lengthy job to fit the cheek to the bentside. Despite the block I clamped to the bentside liner, the treble corner of the bentside did curl inwards a little, so I was forced to sand the bevelled cheek edge (32 degrees) all afternoon until I matched the slightly curved profile of the bentside edge.
The sticks allow clamping pressure to be directed to wrestplank level, as any effort to clamp along the upper edge of the cheek would probably split the case material, which is unsupported above the wrestplank. Similar sticks were temporarily attached to the spine side of the wrestplank supports with double-sided tape, and clamps placed across the instrument squeezed the upper and lower ends of these together.
