RE: [harryproa] Re: strip planking

I read a letter in the latest Aust multi mag referring to the article you mention. I haven't got the original but what I did read it sounds to me you need a lot of experience with the method to design well for it. I've always found torturing plywood to be bit of a hit and miss affair. If the humidity/ply thickness/grain orientation/wood type etc aren't exactly correct then it will either break or not torture. Malcolm Tennant did a lot of this many years ago so is able to design for it. I don't have that experience so wouldn't feel good about advising builders to use it.

Not sure how you torture ply something that big. Please explain.

Just thinking idly about strip planking vs the kitset idea, what about
a tortured ply harry? feasible or not?
