Assembling Staved Cylinders
H
ERE’S A METHOD BASEDon the principle of canvas-backed tam-
bours that simplifies the assembly of staved cylinders. Lay the
staves side by side on a flat surface and carefully align the ends. Apply
rows of tape (I use 2-in.-wide plastic tape) to the outside surface. Turn
the assembly over, apply glue to the stave edges, and roll up the cylin-
der. Apply a strap clamp to complete the job.
