5'2" is pushing it. It's better to have them cut at 6'. I ordered 100sticks of 6'. The falloff will be used for making the rib trusswork. DJ-----Original Message-----

Kip,I looked over my old order from AS&S and it didn't seem to call out theexact length of the strips. I had no problem with the strips. Seemed tohave an inch or two left over (tops a little longer than the bottom) Theyseem to know, and the wood quality and quantity was excellent. If Iremember right there is a whole separate dept that handles the spruce, givethem a call, I'm sure if there is an order at stake, they'll be glad toanswer as few questions.If the owner is responsible for training the phone people, then my hat's offto him. Cause they all seem to come out of the same mold.Finishing second project now and got most of my stuff from AS&S, and haven'tbeen burnt yet.waltNX140DLYou can make ribs even in bed, or your favorite "Lazy Boy" recliner----- Original Message -----

I putzed along for 8 year building my RV andfinally broke down the last year (9th one) and bought a full set ofbits...duh!! Why didn't I do it years sooner? There's nothing nicerthan having the right size bits for both the pilot hole and the finalone. Cleaveland has lots of good tools. There website ishttp://

Kip, I sent for 500 ft. of 1/4 by 1/2 cap strip from AS&S and received 90pieces of strip. They all are over 6 ft. long. They charged for 500 ft. Ijust told them it's for a Pietenpol. Beautiful wood.Good luck.George AllenHarrisburg, PAGeorgeA(at)PAonline.com(Peitenpol builder)(ribs, HS, & Elevator done)> Walt Evans sent me a wood list & it looks like it takes ~500ft. of> capstrip to make a set of ribs.
