: Thanks for the help guys. That is what I like about this board, you can
: always find help.

: I cantilevered the beam over two sawhorses, hung some weight on the end,
: applied some heat from light bulbs over the middle of the beam and left it
: about 4 hours. Then I took the heat off and left it overnight. This
: morning the beam was almost straight. It remains to be seen if it wil: stay straight. I am still going to route the holes oversize. And when I build another one I will do as you did Rehd.

Mine is just a modification of Ted Moore's with the extenders added to the ends.
I'm about ready to build the 2" x 4" box beam for my Great Auk and the occasional strengthener inside can't hurt. I'll double up inside the joint area.

By the way Rehd, I like your dog, looks like my
: kinda dog.

She's one in a million. Queen's/Sheppard mix and smartest dog I've ever had. Never spent a dime on training and she just picks stuff up in minutes. Name's T.B. ( stands for "Turbo Bitch" ... Long story, but she's earned it well )
