: It's easier just to run a string in place of the spray
: paint.

I usually snap a chalkline. Same difference. I did the string only trick on the last BP build. I ran the string directly on the strongback table and then notched the crosspieces so they wouldn't interfere. The table actually had a slight 1/16" sag in the middle so I attached the forms so they all just touched the string. No laser-level, just one string. It was one of my easiest setups.

BTW: Higher resolution pics of the last BP build are finally on my website: http://clearstreamwood.com/WordPress/portfolio/kayaks/2011-vinaccia-black-pearl
