: That seems like a lot of machining!

: I had similar thoughts, and once I'd boiled the idea right down I
: came up with these little guys.

: They are double sided, one side holds my strips up away from the
: form at just the right angle to run my little plane along the
: previous strip and get the perfect rolling bevel.
: When flipped around so that the standoff block is out of the way,
: they are very effective at clamping and holding the strips tight
: against the form and the previous strip.

: They capture your idea of applying force to the top and side of the
: strip at the same time. Cheap, cheerful and minimal work to
: make!

Neat - especially the standoff block. I've often wondered if there was a way to automatically get the rolling bevels correct first time!
