: The "normal" boxbeam method call for you to slide the forms down
: the length into position. How did you modify the forms so you can drop
: them down at the proper spot?

Sorry for the confusion Brian, the picture is of an external strongback. The angle iron is nine inches long. My plan for an internal (boxbeam) Is to use shorter lengths of angle (four inches) giving you an overall size of 4 inches by 3 inches (including the 2"x2" sguare tube). The the hole in the form would need to be slightly larger (but rotated 90 degrees). ex. 4.25" Verticle and 3.25" Horizontal. Then you would slide the forms on with the water line running verticle and rotate them into positon. Drop your undersized bolts (1/4") into oversized holes (3/8") align the forms to each other and tighten the bolts. If this makes any sense or is completely flawed let me know. It is an untried method and I would like any and all feedback. Travis
