Hi Jean-Pierre: That's a good approach, but I've already built the router jig which I think works just as good, if not better. Of course in hindsight, after using T-88 epoxy for some of the frame work, one could reason that the scarf joint needs not be perfect to yield a good bond when using T-88 vs. Resorsinol or other glues. As a matter of fact, one may end up with a dry glue joint if the surfaces are "too perfect." Another idea would be to use a wider backing plate as Steve Langford did, or add gussets in between the uprights and diagonals (as I plan to do) to further extend the gluing area behind the skins. I wouldn't be surprised if the T-88 allowed one to get away with just a butt joint backed with a 3- or 4-inch backing plate. I'm not suggesting anyone do this, but rather thinking out loud.
