Did you create that image, or is it from a source? If so, could you provide the source, please. I've felt there's a dearth of this kind of information, so have been relying very heavily on one book.When cutting a sweat to length (say, 58 cm like me), you finish off the ends by cutting them back at an angle from the reed so that when joined, the sweat will "bell" and grip your head (along with following the taper of the crown). I worked up a quick and dirty diagram below (should have made the lettering white, I guess).

Also, the Reed arrow should be pointing to the bottom, blue portion. Oops. Toldja it was Q&D.
