Dan Padova posted:Great start Bruce. I hadn't thought of using the TIG rod. I am currently using 1/16" diameter brass rod. Looking forward to your progress. Mine is on hold at the moment.
Thanks Dan,
I experimented with brass wire off a spool.....turned into a giant curly mess. Rod is the way to go.
I was concerned about sagging at the center of each stringer, especially with my extra long spans and no tensioning. Soldering out of sequence produced a stringer that actually bowed up in the middle. Still learning as I go.
