In Response To: Re: Strip: internal strongback height (Randy)

After getting all my vacationing out of the way I was able to set my forms. I think I went a little unconventional low in height. The top of the strongback is 33". I wanted my sons to help out whenever they felt like it, so I lowered the hight a bit.

I went and bought an adjustable height mechanics seat for myself. After rolling around the shop for a couple hours, I feel I could get used to using a seat. Although I think I need to carve out a tractor seat.

I can raise the boat when needed by adjusting the two uprights on each cradle

Thanks
