In Response To: outside forms (mike allen --->)

The inside forms are on a strong back just like any outher strong back. 2 stripes are layed in the bottom of the forms and the striping begins @ the mid point just as any a wood pearcer would start.The forms have an 1/8 tolorence and is quite easy to keep true. I just cant see a bunch of rubber bands on a tight bend holding much of any thing . Ive done some custom stairs with extreamley tight radias and the way the wood conforms is amazing.The time has to be cut in half . It took me 40 houres to strip the yack ..and about 300 houres to wet sand the epoxy. ( i was a little sloppy had no idea how hard that stuff gets) but was glad i made time on the striping becuase , that yack would have been fire wood had it taken 100 houres to strip.
