Solid or Laminated sides? Ribbon lining style (kerfing) - rim profiling, contouring and the logic for those choices

OK, I know that most of you figured that you hadn't seen a post from me in a while that I just gave up and threw my pile of sticks into the trash. OH ye of little faith!! A couple of trips, daughter buying a house (lots of daddy projects there) ,crappy weather, etc etc did delay things but I finally got my repair completed on my sides. Things went pretty well though I'm not sure that it wouldn't have been faster just to bend up a new set of rims. There are a couple of defects that show on the outside at the waist bend so it looks like another sunburst is in my future. UUggghhhhh!! I love the look but hate all the additional work they take. I'll post pics when I re glue the back and start back fitting the bindings which is where I stopped before the train jumped the track and I had to go into damage control mode. Well I think that I have certainly earned one more credit towards my diploma from the school of hard knocks though it seems like this is the institution that you never quite graduate from.

all cleaned up with new side braces. I think it will be hard to detect without close examination particularly when you are only able to view from the sound hole.
