Hi Greg, Thanks for the reply and the welcome. I'm not sure what I'm going to start on first yet other than building a table. I've been measuring my garage and...
... Not exactly, I think. What you describe is closer to a laminated spar. A box spar is literally a box in cross-section...there's just open space inside. ...
