In Response To: Strip: Rolling Bevel Strips (Shaun Hamilton)

: Quick question about using the rolling bevel method. When you place a strip
: on the kayak, do you bevel the top edge so that it is basically
: horizontal, and then put the next piece in place and match the bevel to
: that... or do you just put the piece on, leaving the top edge with a 90
: degree corner, and do all of the beveling on the bottom of the next strip?
: I was reading through this thread (
: http://www.kayakforum.com/cgi-bin/Building/index.cgi?review=133617 ) and
: came across this image which shows leaving the 90 degree angle on the top
: of the strip and only beveling the bottom edge. I guess it would be easier
: this way but I was just checking to see what is definitely the way to go.

I leave the top edge square. Have to use a little care doing this as it's easy to thin the strips instead of just cutting the angle. The thinned part of the strip then won't mate with the existing strip.
