In Response To: Still waiting for Spring to come? (Mike Scarborough)

: You mentioned getting good strip fits, which is vital to this process. One of
: the keys to good strip fits is, of course, consistent strip thickness.

You are of course quite right Mike. Strip thickness, and the coves & beads not being centered on the thickness is what gave me some problems. I bought my strips off of somebody who bought them off of somebody else. Thge strips were OK, but next time I build with strips I'll see if I can do better. Getting things fair and making the process as easy as it should be starts right form the first time we work with our wood.

Rob, thanks for the reminder. It's a useful post that lays things out clearly.

Cheers,
Bryan

p.s. I am just letting the dust settle after having cut my stringers for my Yost Sea Flea.
