Measure a bunch of times, then cut...

So, when I finished the benchwork for the upper staging yard, I did not realize that keeping the same radius as elsewhere on the railroad meant I needed to not trim off so much.

Oops.

I took two different approaches to fix the issue. On the inside of the peninsula, I was able to put in a new piece of plywood and give myself the support I needed.


On the opposite site, the situation was a bit different as that side had been cut from a large piece of plywood with a smaller trim piece added. This meant that the solution on the opposite side wasn't a good fit.

Enter a biscuit joiner.


5 biscuits and some glue.. Lots of clamps to keep it together while it dried.
