Hi Joe,
I had trouble getting the new bridge seperated from the preshaped scrap wood.
The planer really squeezes them together.

  John Ross said: "Well, what I did, was get a piece of scrap wood, and using double sided tape, attach it to the old bridge, making sure it was flat. Meaning wood splinters and glue sticking up, removed.
  I then ran it through the planer, ending up with a reverse of the old bridge.
  I then taped it to my new piece of wood, and ran it through the planer.
  I ended up with an exact replica of the old bridge. (As close as I can tell) No guessing involved.
  I figure, for me it was easier than sawing, or sanding.
  Let me know, what you think.

  John,
  Very ingenious! I didn't know double sided taped was strong enough to withstand the forces in a planer! I'll keep that one in mind, for sure!
