? Quick question....Should I string the forms onto the strongback bow up and ? flip the whole thing over (seems to be what Nick is doing) or is that just ? for display purposes of the book. Seems to be easier to align the forms ? deck-down and not worry about and deflection during rotation. I hate ? rotation deflection!

? By the way...I may be in trouble. I was hand planing the internal stems ? yesterday and was really enjoying it! When this thing starts looking like ? a yak, I may not see the wife and daughter until the glass is done!

I ignored the strongback straightness or curvature, cut the forms holes oversize, used clamps to fix and stringlines to align. The spacers and wedges make the strongback cross section larger and more stiffer but this idea is to ignore the strongback altogether. With the form holes oversize, you can realign in a few secs a form.
