In Response To: Strip: How do I officially join this group? + question (Roger Van Couwenberghe)

Welcome, Roger,

You've just joined! (I believe the monthly dues are a pint of Guinness for each of the top 20 posters, though you'll have to verify that with Kurt and Robert...)

As a woodworker, I'm pretty sure those headless pins would not be sufficient for use in strip building. There are some significant torques involved in laying straight wood on curved forms and the U-shape of the staple is really what's doing the holding. Check out some stapleless techniques if it's the look of the holes that you're trying to avoid.

You've definitely come to the right place to ask questions!

Glenn
