Hi All, I have built 2 strippers with a internal strongback and heard that an external strongback is superior to the internal. Now I know there is more than one way to skin a cat and would like to know where I could find plans and what system works best, maybe some strippers could post photos of what they like and what works best. Thanks to all. Nick R.

I have used both methods.No preference was arrived at.
It is to keep the stations from moving whilst the first few hull strips are fixed in place either way.Each idea presents different opportunities to do the building process in a different sequence.Internal means you can transport the undisturbed assembly away from the work area without too much heavy lifting.
cheers from Paul.
