Round bottom

[Skylane]

Maybe I can give a contribution to bended/round shaping.

At almost all good homeinprovement stores there is bendable playwood for sale. This plywood comes at 1/4" (6mm) thicknes.
Usually the plywood layers are cross grained for strength wich makes it hard to bend it on a small radius.... bendable plywood is long-grained.







This plywood is cheap. A whole plate (244 x 122 cm .... aprox 8 x 4 ft) will cost you about Euro 35 .... $42

Kind regards, Nico

Thanks for that info, ... I think I have to visit Gamma tomorrow anyway!

That's a darned nice looking stand/rig you have made there, .. really looking great!

Sorry... not Gamma... but a larger Praxis would have it in store

That's interesting to know, we have three Praxis here in Almere, the two larger ones are the Praxis at Doemere and the Praxis megastore in Almere-Stad. I have always believed that Gamma has a better selection of wood than Praxis does.

I have to go and investigate tomorrow

Robert (AKA Kinsky) has done a tutorial already. Including saw scheme and all measurements.

Here's the finished result. We only have to paint the metal strip. It's getting realistic - I have trouble getting in the seat . Next project: J-rails I'm afraid.
