It looks like you've made the angle shallower? Have you considered putting something together that has variable angles across two panels i.e. 35 and 55? That'd be good for the crack machines too. And while the crack machines are just conceptual at this stage, it might be worth looking at something either of variable width or, if you can manage it, with a manually moveable width.
I've always liked the look of Sonnie Trotter's crack machine, though I've yet to make one. |
