First of all, I have another question: why use backing felt/cloth at =
all? You don't state if your question refers to vertical or grand =
dampers. When I build vertical dampers, I felt the backs - you could do =
the other side the same way for felt/cloth backing material. I cut new =
wooden backs and simply glue the felt to the wood first, then cut the =
composite (felt + wood) on the bandsaw. If you are trying to do grand =
dampers, then this idea wouldn't work. But again, why use backing =
felt/cloth?
