making the curved section

i,m pretty much sure you can..i saw a picture of tony a,s,s scoops on forum some where he had that scoop shape made in that way ,,,try looking for the forum or send him a pm for advice he,s very helpful regards bill

WISDOM IS BETTER THEN SILVER AND GOLD!!

if a 3mm ply is used instead of this solution... 6x3mm is the rule or may be enough 3 or 4 x3mm ?

using less ply will result in bad distortions and vibrating ?

good news.. i think of glueing them togheter and then screw to the support of the curve

Hey guys i'm planning to build a pair of super scoops within the next couple of months (pretty much soon as i can afford the ply) and i was wondering if you could make the actual scoop out of sections of 18mm ply like people do with the curved section of the hd15, thus:

That kind of curve, but would reinforce every curve section with a bit of wood under it like the middle piece has.

this is the 3rd time I have shown this

and there will probably be a fourth, fifth, etc.

it takes three or four times longer doing it like that as you have to have more cuts, the cut width and depth have to be super accurate and you will need some type of accurate former whilst glue.

abit pointless when you think a good table saw would cut all the pieces of wood in a flash.

why try and fix something thats not broken?

stick to your keyboard and leave it to the profesionals please

this is how we in FACTORYS do it not garden sheds and garages

I've seen your work HBL and I dont like it sorry

stick to what your good at

thats fine mykey, everyone is entitled to their opinion

it may have escaped your attention but we do not build in factories. most dont even have table saws

im not too impressed with yours either mate... looks as rough as a pigs ass. maybe you should leave the building to your workforce? its a good thing you 'outsourced' the building of your cab... it might look half decent with no 2"x4" as the support!

back to the point at hand, i would be shocked if anyone used your 'advanced' method of making the curve

you never seem to be able to defend your statements without throwing a hissy fit, why not try and act as professional as you say you are and counter my post with why you think its incorrect rather then CONSTANTLY having to bicker.
