Level Strongback

This is certainly not new info but it's good to be reminded of shortcuts once in awhile... I just completed building a new strongback for another Endeavour 17. This time I used a variety of washers between the 3/4" plywood strongback top and sides to complete the final leveling process. Thought we're only laking a 1/16 to maybe and 1/8 of an inch, I just put the needed washer combo in the "gap" and screwed through them. Quick, easy and inexpensive. Cheers...
