RE: [harryproa] Re: strip planking

I'd like to design something soon but am busy with a number of other urgent projects at the moment. If a few people showed interested i could justify the time. I raised the subject to gauge how must interest there is. Of course I realise that people who may be tempted by a kit may not be people who watch newsgroups.

Fair enough, was just mindsurfing anyway, If you did the duflex kit thing how
far away is it?

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.

Really good explanation in a recent Aus multi mag by Malcolm Tennant

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?
