I have a few questions along the same line on fitting the mammoth to the bolsters.
When profiling the top of the bolsters to fit the curvature of the mammoth it sometimes causes the bolster to be quite thin on top and does not look real good. The slightest mistake here and your project can go South on you real quick!
I really would like some advice on how you handle the job of matching the top of the bolster with the mammoth. Also how is the bolster profiled from that point out to conform with the shape of junction of the bolster to the mammoth?
It is also tricky to get the mammoth to butt up without any gaps to the bolster. I can get it close, but would like to improve in this area.
On your folder do most generally place the thickest part of the mammoth to the top to reduce the amount of dressing done your bolster?
Tips on picking out mammoth to fit a folder are appreciated.
I would appreciate any information in this area.
This could be a video by itself!
Thanks,
Jon
