Are you making the joints due to the fact that the plywood is to short? Ihad the same problem, but I scarf jointed the pieces before gluing them tothe fuse. I would imagine that getting a good tight scarf joint (16 to 1)would be much more difficult on the fuse. Butt joints would of course be acomprimise to safety in a big way.Steve EldredgeIT ServicesBrigham Young University> -----Original Message-----> Richard DeCosta> Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 1999 6:20 AM> To: Pietenpol Discussion> Subject: two-piece floor>>> I never heard back after Steve's "wassup with the two-piece floor"> comment.
