Saddle Attachment: Acoustic Bridge Saddle Mod

I have the saddle attached to the top. Two small screws assist the glue and pass through a small piece of brass inside the body to protect the top wood. It is now also clear that the bridge is going to be too high.

I put it in my vice and went at it with a grinding tip on a rotary tool. The goal is to make it shorter without compromising its structural integrity or function. This was not flat enough so I also did some hand filing. In retrospect I think I could have skipped the grinder and done it all with a hand file.
