Coming up short on stringer stock
Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2021 4:45 pm
Hello,
I am in the process of installing all the cleats and stringers that support the floorboards, foredeck, main deck, and footwell.
I bought the milled timber package, which contains 11 8-foot pieces of 3/4x1" cypress strips for this purpose, but
it doesn't seem to be enough. I counted and measured all the necessary pieces. There are 38 pieces, with a total length
of about 98.75 feet. This would require at least 13 pieces of 8-foot stock, but the timber package contained only 11,
which is what was specified on the checklist that came with the kit. (The 3/4x1 used for sheer clamps and cabin carlins
aren't included here, and were in the kit, marked with their purpose.)
Could I be confused? Have other people purchased a milled timber package and had enough 3/4x1 for everything?
Thanks,
Doug
