 I was watching a bending video I think with Todd Stock were he marked the waist of the sides with a masking tape tab to help get the side in the right spot. It's a great ideas but my fear is the glue in the tape and the heat does it come off on the wood? Would the old gummed paper tape be better?

I mark with tape, slip it into the bender, measure, pull tape and reinsert. |

If you wrap your wood in foil or whatever, put the tape on that .... it never touches the wood. |

I tape the bindings to the sides with green masking tape, directly on the wood. Never had a problem. |

I used to use chalk to mark my position but now I have a story pole. This secret will be out on the Open House this Sat. There should be a video soon. |

Another way is to drill a small 1/16" hole at the position and insert a toothpick to mark the spot. It's easily seen and no glue or tape are required.

I just mark the waist with a pencil..........then remove the mark with an eraser. |

I mark the side with chalk and tear a small slit in the craft paper to allow the mark to be visible. I also mark the UB and LB borders and confirm that they line up appropriately in the form as well. |
