Yes, that's correct Bill. I'm going to plane/file/sand the width and then bevel them to fit the bow and stern. I don't know whether I'm glad for the learning process or not. I wake up during the night thinking of how I'm going to do things and only remember half of it. Guess that was the problem here.
