Working in Section 29 beginning the side skin roll. The instructions tell you to build a clamping block out of oak or other hard wood. No problem.
I've cut the clamp block down to size and the yellow faces below. What will be harder is the taper cut shaded in brown below. I can build a taper jig for the table saw to make this cut, but I'm wondering the purpose? Based on the instructions, that angle is never explicitly called out or used - what am I missing. I don't want to spend a few hours making a perfect jig for the perfect cut when it doesn't even get put on the airplane.
Any thoughts? Is there a reason for the taper? Is this just a convenience for clamp clearance during the roll?
