I thought that everybody would appreciate this...

It's from "The Boy Mechanic: Volume I 700 Things For Boys To Do", published 1913. It's a Project Gutenberg book, in pdf. If you want to read it pull it off here... http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/12655

I never thought about the sidecut/camber. If you did make them from barrel staves they would be negative sidecut and camber. Crazy!
