: Hi,
: I think once you get your shear strips nailed/glued/screwed whatever to the
: forms the beam won't flex much side to side. Just watch it carefully until
: after you have started stripping. Have fun and relax.

Ditto to Ray's comments, I spent a lot of time aligning my forms and stressing about it and then after I had a few strips on it was very easy to see what forms weren't quite right. I unscrewed them from the strongback and lined them up by eye and screwed them back down. Next time I will line everything up as close as possible and then wait till after the shear and maybe 2 more strips are on before doing a final tuning.

I found it helpful to drill alignment holes on each form 3 inches either side of center and level with the DWL line. I ran a string line through these and found it easier than trying to figure out the alignment with a string line outside the forms.

Have fun!
