In Response To: Re: Strip: strongbacks (Marc Upchurch)

Are your beams close enough to the forms that you do not have to adjust the position of the forms to keep everything straight?

The key is cutting the hole in the forms accurately. I carefully mark the hole location and then use a jig on a router table to cut the hole shape. If the hole is right, the strongback is straight to within reasonable accuracy so there is almost no alignment required.
