Ooops, how do i recover from this?

[preprius]

Since Ray  @OCtoolguy showed his mistake and a graceful recovery  I decided to show my ooops.

I want advice on #2 please.

I am building just another hat. Black walnut. 

Ooops.

1)  big hole was a bit too big for the crown. I miss marked which line to go with. 

Recovery: add another ring to the crown (bowl).  This made the hat taller.

Fix procedures:  Think. 

 

2)  As I was sanding the outside of  the bowl the glued pieces cracked at the thin spot where the drill hole is. 

Recovery:  So I put super glue on the inside.  This helped fix the crack but will look bad. 

See the "added" bottom ring  is not sanded yet.

Fix procedures..

   A) dont have drill holes line up. stager drill hole.

   B) Don't sand outer bowl until  bottom is glued on. In my case the top.

Please , I would like opinions.  

 

The hat is not done yet... but here is a fit check of brim to crown.  The crack is in the back.
