It would be great if you could share some of your processing techniques. I consider myself still in the learning phase and any tips are appreciated.

Re: Tool for saddle clamping
It wouldn't be too hard to CAD-up and 3D-print a slip-over knob that would allow for some additional hand force to remove a stuck knob that doesn't have the Allen key socket.

Really nice Glenn.
I like the color treatment, it often gets overprocessed but you did it beautifully

Out of curiosity what is the part number of your dovetail plate ? The knobs look like those on my DOVE15 which has no hex head bolts in the clamping knobs either.
I have had pretty good luck

Re: Tool for saddle clamping
The newer ones in the last few years all are tightened with a hex key besides just finger tightening.
See their website.
