hi all;
when i built my wee lassie i cut slots in the edges of the forms and used spring clamps to hold the strips while the glue dried. can anyone tell me why i shouldn't do the same for my spring run? forms are 1/2" plywood.
the reason i ask is that nobody seems to be useing this method and i'm wondering why, since it worked so well for me. to give credit, the method is mentioned by mac mccarthy in his book.
best regards;
daren......
