I don’t know if you tried this, but if you find that you need to adjust a shoulder, it can be very helpful to freshly sharpen your knife, get a straight edge onto the shoulder, and then knife a new line. This gives you something that is dead straight that you can register your chisel in. You’ll be surprised just how close you can get to your edge and still knife a line. Usually, when knifing a correction, there will be places where the knife line goes to nothing and places where there is more to cut away.
How you get the straight edge on there depends upon what/why you are correcting, but usually you are trying to get both straight and square, so you’ll use a square from a reference edge. You can do this to get shoulders on two sides to match up again.
You did a nice job on this. Thank you for posting the photos.
