In Response To: Strip: great auk strongback length (Daryl)

: Hi
: I was wondering if any one knows what length the srongback on the graet auk
: is cut to?And how far is the stem mold placed on it? Also how do you
: handle the really tight bends do you cut the strips really narrow
: espically where the top rounds over? thanks

14'11" for the strongback. Nicks Schade's Book has all the information you will need. I'm building a Guillemot and had no problems making the bends with 3/4" strips.

Have fun!
