Yes, check carefully what the glueline will be after trimming, and leave some fudge factor. I used Autocad when I first came up with the idea. I should rerun some drawings with the 3/8" and 1/2" core strips, thanks for pointing that out! CAD is nice htat way, you can draw it ful scale as youd lay it up, and then fillet the radius as you would trim it on the router. Its very accurate.

: Wow! so many ways to make a hollow loom :O . Pays to draw some cut-away
: sketches before spreading the epoxy I'd imagine though - just to check
: that the material is where it will give max stiffness, and wide
: glue-lines, even after the loom has been trimmed and rounded. Many
: sketches, in fact.

: One can almost have one's cake and eat it too, and that on top of the fun of
: baking it ! ;)
