This is what I was brought. One bridge is worn and damaged and made of inferior timber. The other is of good quality, the right length, width and radius, but far too low.
Cutting a plank of stock from the damaged bridge:
Stock: I love this picture, the newspaper, the marking gauge, the plane and the curly wood shavings make it look like my bench is clean, I know what I'm doing, and that I can sharpen and set up a plane really accurately. None of those is quite true.
Gluing:
This is what I made: Notice also the salt and pepper mills and the wine glass and bottle - it was extremely sociable woodwork.
This is where you can stick it:
