In Response To: Shop: External strongback height (Stephen Troy)

: I stopped by Home Depot today to look at sawhorses, and it looked
: like most of them would be, once a strongback and forms were
: added, too tall.

: What do you guys use as a platform to set your strongbacks on?

I made boat stands as per Nick's book. for an internal strongback. I'm 6ft tall and had to add 4" blocks under the feet.
Less bending. my 65yr old back likes it better that way!
