Like my old man taught me, build it strong or don't build it at all *grin*
[ ( { brackets } ) ]
So I took a leisurely stroll around the Home Depot today & stumbled upon these nifty little steal brackets...
I really like these as they have a bump that should add significant strength...
These are a little longer, no bump but they still feel really strong...
I'm liking the look of that. Simple, relatively lightweight & should be very strong...
These look like they'd work nicely too...
So not sure which of the two I'll use but I figure if I glue the brackets to a plywood wing-saddle then embed the whole thing in fiberglass I should be good to go...
The brackets are fairly lightweight but I can see maybe drilling some lightening holes here & there. That'll save some weight & give the fiberglass/epoxy more to grab a hold of. Simple, strong, sounds like a plan to me. Talk me out of it if you like.
