Bevel not working as advertised?!

I’ve had this problem for some time, bevelling just doesn’t ever seem to work for me.

Here is the model before bevel.

Here it is afterwards.

I might be wrong, but that just doesn’t look right to me. Anyone have any ideas?

You have some normals facing inwards and some facing outwards.

Select all faces and use Ctrl+N to recalculate the normal direction. Then try bevelling

Ok, now I feel like an idiot. Didn’t realise that normals applied for bevelling too. Thank you very much!
