Made the Fuse Clamping block. Bought a piece of 2" Red Oak (hardwood-straight grained) and took it over to Dad's (He's got all of the woodoworking tools). Cut it to dimensions 46" x 3 1/2". planed it down to 1 1/2 ", cut the tapers on each end with the band saw, and then ripped the 45 degree bevel on the table saw. Came out great. (Hope the Fuse bends do as well !!).
