thats right greg!
actually thought bit about it some more today
if you had some sheet eps you could use slices of that for the foam insert in between the stringers
and bend the rocker into the insert
and that way you would have two clean faces for gluing
i think if you made a few of them you could put them together pretty quick after a while.
i would suggest that clamps would be overkill to some extent cuz of there weight they are more likely to distort things
i havent tried it though
i only make compsand blanks and basically just use masking tape for clamping (one of those annoying disposables)
double sided tape can be helpful as well
but next week im making up 5 close tolerence eps blanks for standard glassing
and i dont really want to distort the rockers
cus basically i want to just shape the rail bands and that it
the other alternative is to set up a fence system for your hotwire and cut the blank in half after the proflie is cut
a hotwire fence table saw thing would be cool
i think most guys use a bandsaw or table saw
actaully has anyne tried a table saw
is that what u used maxmercy or a a bandsaw
that would work sweet as
my blanks are comming precut at full width from the foam suppliers
i think i might ask for some at half width for stringers
and full width for stringerless!
i dont know how people traditionally make stringers.
but i would think that butt joints in short pieces would be okay if you used two or three staggered layers
ill let you know how i go and post a few pics in a week or so
im using paulownia btw
contact adhesive might work
thers some great instant glues on the market these days
i could be way out here btw
