: Most of us mill all the strips before we start building. I never
: scarf any strips, prefer them shorter. I just pick the strips
: that I'll be using, fit them then glue in place, and move onto
: the next one.

: Bill H.

The scarfing doesn't take long, a couple of minutes at most: I cut the scarfs on a bench disc sander which is very fast and precise, and I have a jig I use for aligning and gluing. If they were butted that joint would have to be over a rib and that would cause problems clamping, as I am not using staples. I don't think stapling would be any less time consuming than clamping actuaully, just gets rid of the setting time between strips. The time consuming part is planing the bevels which I had planned to do with a router; unfortunately I shaped the stems incorrectly so the bevel angle has been changing along the length of the strip. I can't work much faster at present, until the arthritis settles down again; that comes and goes.
