Now glue the sides and bottom of the plugand the inside of the chamber, and push the plug into its place,wiping off superfluous glue and cramping it tight into its placeby means of two cramping irons and cramping blocks / flFig. 193, which must be protected by cork surfaces g g; andbetween the cork surfaces and the sides of the scroll must alsobe put slips of paper to protect the varnish of the place another cramping iron with cramping blocks atright angles to the first pair, the blocks being shaped and set cZ.

When it ia dry the first thing is to plane down the face of R,Figs. 192, 193, and 196, with the plane, fit to receive thefinger-board. First plane it smooth throughout its length, tillit the splice the new wood is just flush with the old, then(by leaving or planing down the lower end of R, Figs. 192and 196) the surface R must so be left that a straight-edge,f f, Fig. 192, just clears the centre ridge of the scroll, as atthe point g, Fig. 192, by about ^ ot an inch-planing will of course have cut away theline a a! on the surface R, Fig. 196. A newcentre line must therefore be made by takingthe exact centre of the surface of the block R,Fig. 196, at the upper h, Fig. 196, finding samewith
