In Response To: S&G: Quasi Strongback for S&G *LINK* (Lloyd E. Peterson)

: One Ocean Kayaks (see link) and "Kayaks You Can Build" both
: advocate a strongback of sorts for S&G on which carefully lined up cradles
: are attached.

Lloyd,

Below is a pic and LINK to building the simple strongback I use. It's made
from 2 X 4's and bolted together for breakdown and storage. The one pictured
is only 13ft long for SOF construction, but I built several strippers on a
17'version. You could add a third center sawhorse if needed or you could also
use 2 X 6's.
