Peter,
On my sub
I'm going to have these long rails which have a dimension of 2"x1/2"x
10' I was planning on making them stainless steel, but the
thought has crossed my mind to make them using a hardwood like oak and seal with
epoxy. It sure would cut the cost a lot. The rails hold everything
onto my superstructure of ferro-cement, another advantage would be no dissimilar
metals in contact. Since I'm going to have many of these rails running
longways they may be strong enough due to the multiple number of them. I
might have to go a bit thicker however.
