Cove and bead strips? I am in the middle of a Gullemont single without cove and bead and haven't needed to clamp the strips down, I just hold with one hand and plane a small section at a time....ok, so my fingers are getting progressevly thinner and thinner

: After building a Coho in my unheated Minnesota garage last winter, I am
: moving indoors this winter to build a Spring Run. I am building the boat
: in an un-used bedroom. I am not sure what I will need for a work bench.

: Space will be a little tight. If I build the boat diagaonally in the room, I
: will still have 2' on either end (yes, I can get the boat out of the
: room).

: Will I need a 17'bench of some kind to clamp strips to when planing? I have
: my strong back built and have considered builing some kind table under the
: strong back. Do people use c-clamps to hold the strips when you are
: working on them, or will a bench vise work OK on long strips?

: Thanks for any ideas.
