Or use the flat sides on the inside, but then why need the countersinks (room for epoxy?) and then sanding the grooved sides may be more work?
I know I'm getting ahead of your tutorial, but that is part of the fun, no? ;>)

No worries I didn't go down far enough for the counter sink part to hit just far enough to start a little hole.
The grooved faces of the flooring will be planed away with a brass smoothing plane and flattened with a file by way of the draw file method then scraped with a straight edge.
