Scale length is best measured 34" from inner side of nut on treble side to mid point of G string saddle, ensuring there is still a little bit of forward adjustment available, but more important to have lots more aft adjustment available for low end E string saddle.

Waz, thanks. I worked hard on that end grain and kept going. The other side too, just kept looking at it and going till what I thought looked good.
As far as the bridge placement, I am still fooling with the where to place it, your advise is sound. I am more worried about the neck position. Making sure I keep it straight to the bridge.
