In Response To: Strongbacks: External and Internal *Pic* (Joe Greenley)

I found the Spring Run very easy to align, and easy to remove the forms. The external avoids all of the warping problems associated with using a 2x4, but I suppose a plywood boxbeam would do the same on an internal. Guess I'll have to build a Guillemot... Doesnt the internal strongback / form assembly come off intact, ready to start another boat without re-alignment? Of course, I'll be reusing the external one from the Spring Run an a Walrus... You could actually put four boats on one strongback...
