I could have forced the board down with clamps at glue up I suppose, but I thought that doing this would greatly contribute to its stiffness. Also, in order to set bearing I needed to have the board down on the rim all the way around. Clamps were not an option with the plate in so I used screws. The screws would have split the board if I tried to use them to pull the board down. If I had my way I would have cut off the board at the first bass rib and it would not have been an issue. Gene
