if i don’t do a balsa compsand and use a parabolic stringer blank how thin should i make the stringers? do i still shape concaves into the bottom?I remember Bert saying that the concave deck let’s the bottom contours form on their own. anyones
how thin should i make the stringers?
that depends on a lot of factors but 3mm is a good start…
do i still shape concaves into the bottom?
if you like concaves, then shape them in…what Bert does is beyond the scope of most home builders
btw, Ar63 is really good stuff…very ductile. the main problem is availability and cost. call the HQ and ask them to send you samples in a large envelope…proper biz speak helps. I wish i could get some myself in affordable Qs
HTH

Who the hell is a craftee? Did you change your name?? I leave for 24 hours and swaylocks has gone all willy nilly…
haha, all in good fun. I thought you were pretty craftee…perhaps now you are sharing the crafteeness?? and we will all be craftee?
