It was suggested that I glue the scrap piece back onto the short elevator side.

So after I got home from work I went into the workroom to rummage the garbage can AND AND AND the garbage can IS MISSING!!! So "hey Hon where is the garbage from the work room?" She had switched out the can for a bigger one and not put the new one back. (Is she trying to tell me something?) So anyway I found the scrap piece. The cut was fairly clean but proud of the line (cut slightly bigger), and the elevator has since been sanded to final shape, But the scrap piece is still close enough I can make it work.
