The picture says it all here. My initial idea had been to bolt all the layers together so it could accommodate instruments of different side depths, but it turns out my drill press doesn’t have enough throw to make a straight hole that deep. After several frustrating attempts to drill holes for the bolts, I decided to glue all the inner layers together and screw the last top and bottom slices om. That way I can still access the edges to clamp the kerfing.
