: Seems to me if you use the clamps at the ends of the joint, you
: will get a nice hold without the slippage. If I had that
: problem, I'd be using lengths of wood a bit longer than the
: joint and clamping the whole shebang together. The two wood
: pieces would hold it all together quite nicely. If I am wrong,
: someone outta tell me, I will be slicing my wood for the NH
: stripper this winter.

: On another interesting note, the lab I used to work in is being
: demolished. It was built 50-yrs ago and the entire front office
: and lunch area ceilings were done in ancient growth clear cedar.
: I aim to ask, no...to crawl into the property managers office,
: grab someone's pant leg and beg to remove all that beautiful
: wood. I used to sit there 10 years ago when I first started
: building and just stared at the ceiling trying to figure out how
: many strippers I could build from that material. I pray I get my
: chance to get in there. The wood is at least 3/4" thick, it
: must not be wasted.

Would be a real crime to see all that cedar just ripped out with a crowbar.
