You can cut them much faster on a table saw. Put one board on top of

Maybe someone with a CNC router could start selling templates.**Until
then, I think this is the way to go.

I think you're all getting carried away. I just took a hand plane and cut what
seemed to be adequate. Been using them for years. Don't overcomplicate
things.
You beat me to it. For that slight of a curve and given that cauls
are not german timepieces, eyeball it with a #5 and start gluing.
