In Response To: Strip: Strongback forms (Kim)

: I really really want to use my band saw to cut out the insides of the forms.
: I cut a slit into the form for access and am using glue to strengthen
: after I am done. Is there that much stress on them to require more
: strengthening?

: Kim

Why? Really, really nice band saw? :-)

I wouldn't expect a lot of torque where there's not a significant 'bend' to the design - but don't understand why you don't just drill the corners, use a jig saw to cut the centers out, and mount them on the internal strongback? Or.... mount them to an external strongback, and skip this issue...
just a thought...
