: Rehd,

: I double check the notches in the forms in Putz's book against yours. I think
: you'll see that Putz's notch on the forward frame you show in your picture
: is cut so the inside edge of the cut is perfectly vertical, and only the
: outside edge is perpendicular to the edge of the form. For your notches
: you have both of the sides of the notch perpendicular to the edge of the
: form. Without the relief from the wider notch you may have a difficult
: time lifting the frame off of the forms.

: Sure you can twist the wood strip into the notch you have, but you'll want to
: lift the entire frame striaght up to remove it from the building forms.
: Chisel that notch wider while you have the chance.

Got it covered Paul. I cut the top pieces off and screwed them back on, but, make of pine. I just unscrew them and remove to release the bow.
