> Why bother with the extra wood strip? Seems to me there are a few options
> that would work as well.

> A) Drill holes about 1/2 inch in from the outside edge of the forms. Plug
> a hole with a dowel rod wherever needed and clamp to that. When the strip
> is securely glued, remove the clamp and reposition the dowel rod in the
> next hole. Tap it out with a hammer if any glue has dripped on it.

> B) for get the holes and dowel rods. Get some small cheap 'c' clamps and
> tighten them on your forms where necessary, then clamp to them with the
> spring clamps to hold the strips in place. If you use webbing rope you
> thread it through the big 'c' opening in the clamp. If you need additional
> side pressure you can rotate the 'c' clamp to push against the edge of the
> strip (CAREFULLY so you don't mash the bead or cove face) You can use
> webbing, rope or bungie cord to maintain that edge pressuure by looping
> the cord through the 'c' part of the clamp and pulling it to some anchor
> point.

> C) use 'c' clamps to hold short waste strips to the forms to create those
> lips that you want to clamp to. You can move them around to wherever they
> may be needed. They can be reused, and it is faster and cheaper than
> cutting the full length lip from a large sheet of plywood.

> On the other hand, staples are still fast, easy and cheap. I've never had
> a person complain about the rows of specks from the staple holes, and in
> fact it was an easy way to show the curious throngs how I'd built the
> boat. People can understand that the boat was stapled together. It is a
> simple concept that works well.

> Of all the *MANY* passionate discussions on this board about relative
> strengths of various processesI can not recal everhearing one suggestion
> that using staples compromised strength to the slightest degree. That in
> itself is amazing, particularly considering the heat that topics like this
> frequently generate. Hopefully I have not opened a can of worms by
> mentioning this.

> Hope these ideas help.
