Super nice work, Scott.
Those "plaster" profiles sure came in handy for the corner pieces.
Nice cold shrinks with the mallets.
And the "pin" clamps are old school items I don't see used much anymore but they sure do hold tightly - if block holes are still crisp!

The double-up beadroll move is fun!

Love those profile dies and the serious recip machine giving them squish.
You got the top ironed and filed out nice, and then the new panel flowed right on in....back side is clean too - (very nice not to see pick marks and harsh tool marks back side ).

Gold Star work, Scott, and great to see the steps so clearly documented.
