Hi Bob,
I think that's a typo. It should probably read "...make trial fittings
often." I think the idea is to hammer the corner wrap against a piece of
plywood, using it as sort of a trial mold until the piece fits. "Fitting"
here probably refers to how well the part fits (an eyeball judgement), as
opposed to a "fitting" that is a structural piece of metal. This would be
more precise and result in a neater look than just randomly bending or
hammering the corner wrap to fit. I suspect a good test is to place the
corner wrap in position and if it doesn't fit well or sticks out here and
there, gently smack it a few times to teach it who is boss. You want to do
that against a piece of plywood or something to prevent causing a local
dent. You should do your pounding on the bench and not on the plane so you
don't dent an unintended item.
I haven't worked on this part yet, so this is only my best guess. I also
suspect a stretcher/shirker would come in handy here, but I'm not sure it's
worth the bucks for the few times you need to use it.
Good Luck,
- Chuck -

plywoodHello!
It is suggested to hammer the tapered corner wrap for the rebel into a
fitting for a better fit. Then the manual says, 'While forming, make trail
fittings often.' What's that mean?
Also, I stumbled on a builder support page from Murphy's web site. Am I
missing anything here?
Thanks,
Dan
