In Response To: strongback design? (Julie Kanarr)

hat I'm stitching the hull of the Coho for my stepfather's daughter HI, Juli, funny, like an idea is being tought by many persons at the same moment. After having thought about this question, i came to decide on a box-beam strong-back for my guillemot, Not knowing how long my project would take, and not wanting to take a chance with a crooked 2 by 4 piece of wood, over a period of time, l chose to make a box-beam like advised in Nick`s book, lncentally, this is what l did today, took me about 3 hours, to cut, assemble , glued and nailed, . quite satisfied with the result. will have to use 3 sawhorses. Nick`s esplanations were greatly useful in the process. Wish you good luck in your project.
