: While it's certainly possible to use the plastic frames with wood stringers
: you kinda miss the advantages of both methods doing it that way. Doing it
: all wood (ply frames and wood stringers) means the stringers can be easily
: glued to the frames, nothing glues easily to UHMW. Also the ply frames are
: quite a bit lighter than the plastic ones. The plastic frames allow a
: fairly easy snap fit to round aluminum tubing, would be tricky to do that
: with square section wood stringers.

: You're only looking at one piece of plywood, the frames are really pretty
: little.

I appreciate the feedback. I think I'll just use the UHMW to build the strongback stations and go with the plywood for the cross sections.

Thanks again!
