clamping action cloth...(on wippen)

[Joseph Garrett]

I know to only glue down the ends of the felt and not in the middle where 
the capstan will contact the felt. What I can't figure out is a good way to 
clamp down each felt while the glue dries.
 
Thanks,


Ed,
Lay a wippen on an inconsequencial board. Trace it. Band saw/jig saw it out
to have an image of that. Put a weak trapwork spring on the board that will
hold the wippen in the "cut-out". Voila', you now have a clamping device.
Make several. Use Hot hide glue, so that the job will go quickly. Assembly
line the process.
