You bend them around a jig, and glue the strips together.  When the glue is
cured, they will stay bent after removal from the jig.

Not at all, that I can think of.   I haven't actually done it yet, however.

None at all.  You still set the incidence and washout exactly the same way,
with a level and the level line on the templates.  See
