: 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.

You steered me in the right direction on the cradles. DAH!!! why didn't I think of that to begin with. I made them out of 1/2" flake board and slipped on foam pipe insulation. Took about an hour. Thanks
