: Instead of the sling, make a couple foam-lined cradles that match the
: contours of the deck. You can make them so they don't reach all the way to
: the sheer so you'll be able to drape the glass without interference. Also,
: it provides a much more stable platform for sanding. Just mount them on
: top of the strongback.

Ross,
Do you think two is enough? I have two female station forms (at about 7 and 12) ready for stripping the deck on my Spring Run but I see you have used three.
