heel and end blocks
How oversized do you make your blocks if you are radiusing your rims with a radius dish? Would a tail block that was overhanging the sides by 1/8" on the top and back be too much work to sand with a radius dish?

Re: heel and end blocks
that is plenty what I do is rough in the angle and work them to fit the sides so I have less work to do with the dish.
you only need about 1/16 on the top and about 3/32 for the back

Re: heel and end blocks
The blocks will plane nicely and should be easy to get within sanding size
