Btw, one of the best tips I've seen for stripping I don't know where I saw it. Make a pile of U shaped "clamps", pieces of thin plywood about 3" square with a 1" wide by 2" deep cutout in the middle to form a U shape. These slide over the strip and lie against a form then a spring clamp will easily hold the strip in place and tight against the previous strip and keep the strip aligned too. I've got like 75 or 80 of these, took a couple hours sitting in front of the bandsaw (would have been easier now with the scroll saw).
