In Response To: dont consider a strongback as a reference point (erez)

Thanks for the info. I hadn't planned on using the strongback as a reference, I was just concerned with having the forms set on it and then having it warp on me. Not sure if that would actually happen, but the humidity around here does strange things to wood. I had forgotten about the string tho, and that will definitely make a difference.
I think I'll go ahead and build a boxbeam. Don, you can keep playing in the shop. Your description will be plenty to go by. I'd hate to interfere with your fun...
