Re: Strip-planking Technique

["Robert Harper" <rharper@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've looked at similar techniques before but I'm not sure how well this  
would work in the forward sections where the strips have to make some very  
complex bends. Many already have to use screws to hold the strips down.  
I'm not sure how well this technique would work. You'll probably also have  
to only do a few strips at a time allowing the glue to dry between  
sessions. Worth a look though.
