: Avoid particle board like the plague.

this is probably the longest thread ive seen on strong backs. I followed nicks instructions on my guillemont, I used A good straight 2*4 I didnt have any noticeable problems in any direction 8 to 10 Hr set I think that you can over anylize things to death, or you can give it your best effort do alittle tweak here and there and see where the chips fall call it experience. I enjoy building very much but the Ideal is to get the boat in the water not the art mueseum. now Im going to build a spring run and I will follow the directions and build a external strong back and hopefully be in the water at the end may.
bottom line. do what you enjoy, enjoy what you do! Dont sweat the small stuff.
