In Response To: Strip: Best Place For Form Positions *Pic* (Bobby Curtis)

: For stripping a symmetrical hull is it important to place the edge of the
: plywood form where each section is positioned? Or is it OK to center the
: form at each position? If the edge is needed I assume opposite edges are
: used for sections left or right of the center form.

: Bobby

I've seen both done. I think the edge is used more often, though, as it is easier to measure from/to. In either case, if the angle between the strips and the form is noticable (as in your drawing), I would shape the edge so the strips lay flat against it. That will also influence where your forms go.
