Never seen the cut to remove the bottom of notch. good holding wood there. Do you ever use a soft dutchman? or can you accomplish the same result using wedges?

Actually, a lot of that holding wood was rotten, but usual for a big old White Fir. I did use a soft dutchman (more than one kerf)You can see me installing it at 1:47.
