I'm thinking of making some dedicated clamping cauls out of maple, and
was wondering about dimensions. Say I use 8/4 stock, how "tall"
should they be, and given that thickness and height, to what radius
should I round them? (They'll be 40" in length.) I'm planning on
making up a template for them, and then shaping them with a router.
Any rule of thumb for this? (heh. any boondock saints fans?)
