: hi all;
: when i built my wee lassie i cut slots in the edges of the forms and used
: spring clamps to hold the strips while the glue dried. can anyone tell me
: why i shouldn't do the same for my spring run? forms are 1/2"
: plywood.
: the reason i ask is that nobody seems to be useing this method and i'm
: wondering why, since it worked so well for me. to give credit, the method
: is mentioned by mac mccarthy in his book.
: best regards;
: daren......

sorry i wasn't more complete in my explaination earlier. yes the forms are 1/2" plywood, but the slots are cut leaveing a full 1/2" of material. no trouble with tearout, even in the hollows. as for strip to strip clamping; i used shock cords with little saddle rigs to gaurd the cove edge.
