Gold Member Username: Dustin3Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5687 Registered: Oct-05 | Got some work done today. Looking great so far Kerfs came out PERFECT, which means all the inner kerfs touch eachother. This gives the kerfed port the strength, instead of having space inbetween the kerfs (after the bend, which alot of box builders do), which decreases the strength of the kerf. That's why there is no gaps between the kerfs, and it's so strong that I cannot even break it with my hands by bending it. Just a little heads up for people who don't know alot about how a kerfed port works.     |

|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Box Designer & Builder...Dustin Post Number: 5710 Registered: Oct-05 | Thanks guys! I been away for a couple days... Troy ~ I got some good formula's I came up with for kerfs and some #'s/advice if your wanting some help man. Just let me know. Pimp ~ Nope, actually, the kerfs are so strong that I can bend the wood as HARD as i can and it doesn't break. It's because the inner wood (kerfs) touch eachother when the bend occurs, which keeps the structural integrity and makes it so it cant bend past that point and paul, I do remember him lol |
