The first step in the process was to calculate the dimensions of the missing parts on the basis of the surviving fragments. Then full-size mock-ups were made from plywood and reassembly attempted. Only when this trial assembly was successfully completed did the craftsmen carve the replacement pieces from good timber and carry out the final reassembly.
重組的過程，是先以還在的原件推算出失去部份的尺寸，然後以三夾板做出原寸樣本來試組，等到試組完全無誤，才全面由師父們以好的木材雕刻、正式拼組。
