Temporary Stabilizer Alignment
Try this trick before final assembly and gluing. Make sure the stabilizer is properly centered and aligned, hold it firmly, and drill small holes through the saddle. Now you can remove the stabilizer for covering, etc., and be confident that, when you glue it and drive in toothpicks or tightly fitting dowels, it will be properly aligned.
