Lengths of '''Stripwood''' can be joined together by gluing card triangular [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusset_plate '''Gussets'''] over each joint. Typically these are glued each side of a '''[[Butt Joint]]''' or in-between an over-lapping joint.

Complex frames ''(e.g. for bridges, roof trusses or timber framed buildings)'' can be drawn out full-size and the frames assembled over the drawing.

__TOC__

=====Material Preparation=====

{|
|-
| '''Making Card Triangles'''
| These are cut out from '''[[Paper_and_Card#Paper_and_Card_Weight|medium card]]''', and are used as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusset_plate '''Gussets'''] to join together pieces of '''Stripwood''' by brushing on '''[[Glues and Pastes|PVA]]''' glue. A useful size is 30mm x 30mm which can most easily be marked out using the width of a '''[[Rules and Straight Edges|wooden ruler]]''' as a guide.

|-
| '''Cutting Stripwood'''
| Thin strips of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softwood '''Softwood'''] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyera_costulata '''Jelutong'''], most commonly 8mm square but also 10mm and 12mm square, provide an easy to cut and glue material for modelling ''(e.g. using a '''[[Hacksaw|Junior Hacksaw]]''' and '''[[Glues and Pastes|PVA]]''')''.

A small '''[[Engineers Vice|Clamp-on Vice]]''' holds the work-piece firmly whilst it is sawn. Older children may be able to hold '''Stripwood''' firmly enough against a small '''[[Bench Hook]]''' as they saw it to length.

=====2D Frames=====

{|
|-
| '''Basic Frame Construction'''
| Squared paper or graph paper can be used to mark out simple rectangluar frames ''(e.g. for a vehicle chassis)'' and used to mark out and cut pieces of '''Stripwood''' to length.

Lay the pieces over the drawn rectangle and glue '''Card Triangles''' over each joint to reinforce it. Turn the frame over and do the same on the other side.

At each stage, you may wish to add small weights on each joint to keep the frame still and keep the triangles in place as the glue dries.

|-
| '''Setting Out Frames'''
| More complex frames are built in the same way and can be started by making a full-size drawing. Once again, using squared paper or graph paper will help to keep the drawing accurate. Alternatively, the design can be produced on a computer using '''[[CAD]]''' software then printed out.

Covering the drawing with tracing paper or greaseproof paper will help stop glue sticking to it - alternatively, rub soap or wax on to the drawing around each joint location.

=====3D Frames=====

{|
|-
| '''Assembling 2D Frames'''
| Always try to think of 3D, box-like structures as a series of flat frames joined together and make these first.

It is almost impossible to build a 3D structure all in one go - everything wobbles about too much!

|-
| '''Timber Framed House'''
| This technique is ideal for modelling buildings and similar structures - especially traditional [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing '''Timber Framed Buildings'''].

The use of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_beam '''Dragon Beams'''] can be modelled and upper storeys made to project over the ground floor to create [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jettying '''Jetties''']. These increased space in the upper floors and provided some shelter to the lower walls.

When the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Fire_of_London '''Great Fire of London'''] started at the Pudding Lane bakery of Thomas Farriner 2nd September 1666, one of the reasons the fire spread so quickly was the closeness of the wooden [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jettying '''Jetties'''] to those of the buildings opposite. As a consequence they were banned in London after the '''Great Fire'''
