Here's a "Scan" of what a Back Check Leather Clamp looks like. They're =
made out of Clothes Pins. Take the "pin" apart and drill a 7/32" hole in =
one of the "jaws". Then slice it with a fine hand saw, parallel to the =
hole sides. The other side  should be flattened on a sander or such so =
that that surface will hold the leather flat on the back check. =
Michael's description is correct. Glue the leather to the "curve" first, =
then do the "flat". Usually, this can be done without removing the butts =
from the action. The most difficult part is getting the olde leather =
off, first.<G> BTW, use hot hide glue. You can do the whole set in less =
than 2 hours, IMO.
