The Edges
Three edges per face on the Trainer. Two on the Trainer Mini.
Each one incut, rounded to perfection, and labeled. Trainer on the left, Trainer Mini on the right. Plus unmarked usable edges: a 4 mm inner edge and a slopey 28 mm on the Trainer, and a 6 mm inner edge on the Trainer Mini.
The Edges
Turn them over
Three more on the Trainer, two on the Trainer Mini, and a slopey 22 mm hiding behind the Trainer’s 20. In dense sapele, even the smallest edges will not deform.
The Pinch
The whole block is a pinch
The Trainer is a wide pinch; the Trainer Mini runs slightly thinner, a natural fit for smaller hands. Both are expertly sized for pinch training, face to face over the full height.
