Hey Paris,I replied earlier but the message never got posted.....Plywood- 1/16" Don't forget to sand lightly prior to gluing to eliminatethe glazing. I used birch ply. Some people use mahogany.I used Aerolite glue for the rib construction. I found it much easier touse than T-88 for small pieces.3/8" nails were used. A pair of tweezers works very well to hold thenails. Half pound of nails will be plenty for the ribs.Boil the capstrips 20-30 minutes, NO LONGER, to soften them up.>>> Paris Wilcox 05/18/98 10:21am >>>Many thanks for all the info on the "poplar Piet" I intend to give thebuilder a call tonight...will be happy to share info with anyinterested persons....now if somebody could just answer my suppyquestion-how much glue(T-88) Nails(is 1/4" a/c brass,concrete coated)and what kind(specifically)of plywood do I need to get atarted an myrib gusssetts?
