: whatever you do, bld it 1st, then(maybe - at least carefully to remate) hack
: off. otherwise you'll kill yourself trying to match strips and also
: curvature. hard experience here.

Absolutely! That's what I meant. Build the whole thing, glass the whole thing and then hack off the end. When I put the cone back on you'll hardly be able to tell.

: that was just for a solid form to staple/clamp into. why have extra wt when
: yr not going to be going backwards tho maybe a little at the front.
