I prefer to fit the bolsters in place before drilling any holes for the handle material. this helps get a better fit between handle material and bolster.
Yes the material used for the bolster is 3/32".
Also I agree with your methodology, it would have made my life much easier to just file the front of the scale flat with the correct angle, then drill the holes, then make the scales match the liner.
If I do end up making the scales again and for the next knife I'll definitely do that.
