In Response To: Shear Clamps (Paul Johnson)

Well by using LOTS of clamps (in particular, a few screw clamps) I was able to get one of the
sheer clamps to follow the tight curve of the sheer line. The other sheer clamp broke when I
was trying to bend it, so I cut and pieced it in. The short piece doesn't bend but will do the job
when beveled.

BTW: why is it called a "clamp"? It's strange to be talking about "clamping the clamp."

PS: Sorry about the mis-spelling of "sheer".
