  70mm sheerclamp

A thing that was once living does not necessarily want to follow a line drawn on a plan - the 70mm sheerclamp is settling in to its new position with a little persuading and maybe some further tweaking , luckily we have had some really humid weather so the wood is more forgiving but that is not a great situation for epoxy bonding.




little wooden blocks are screwed to the frame to hold the stringer while it curves to its new shape, this allows the wood to follow fair curves without the influence of clamps that hold it rigid and can possibly create sharp transitions. IMHO,
