I'm not too enthusiastic about wood floats and I would like to
scratch build them as opposed to going for one of the (expensive)
foam options or the even more expensive second hand edo option..

Why is it that you are not enthusiastic about wood floats? Something
about using them, or building them?



Well, I imagine that metal floats might be more maintenence free and
easier to repair, not to mention more impervious to getting water
logged. having said that, I don't know enough about either to make an
informed decision there, but more than that I just want to try something
in sheet metal, never having made more than cowlings and covers out of
the stuff before..
