Oops, I was confused. Must have been the grey hair color, or perhaps my lack of familiarity with the Great Auk design. I now see, I think, from the illustration, that the sheer line is very different from the one that I built.

Anyway, if all that is required is to plane the edges of Charles's strips, there should be no impact on strength at all. Good luck with it Charles, all will be right.

Best regards,

Allan Edie

: I think the deck is too wide, so he's planing the edge of the deck
: reducing the width of the strips, not the thickness.
