Thanks Jack and Chris. I was fixated on trying to build them in place.
Building them on a jig and then gluing them on the panels is obviously the
way to go. Thanks for the detailed instructions.
This group is GREAT!!
Ted
Expecting to freeze tonight in South Florida. Definitely a time to be
building and not flying a Piet.

> Here is how I laminated my bows. I cut out 2 curved piece of inch
plywood to match the curve of the FRONT instrument panel. I glued these
together to make the form 1 inch wide. I then drilled 1 holes about 1 inch
in from the curve face spaced about 3 inches apart. Then I put clear
packing tape along the top of the curve. This is to keep the glue from
sticking to the form. Next I cut 1/8th inch thick spruce strips soaked them
in water and bent them around the form. Then I clamped them in place using
a sacrificial strip on top to keep the clamps from damaging the bow. I let
this dry over night. Then I put glue on 3 of the 4 of the strips making
sure not to get glue between the sacrificial strip and the top strip. I
then re-clamped all this to the form. You need about 3 hands for all this
as the whole thing gets quite slippery. Next day take them of the forms
sand to final dimensions. I cut my strips long and wide then planed to
final thickness and trimmed the ends!
> to fit. I used the same form for all the bows. I had to pull in the bow
a little for the rear instrument panel but it was not enough to throw off
the curve.
