My idea for a external strongback,please let me know what you think. First hurdle,I don't have access to a table saw and don't wish to buy one, so plywood is not an option. I'm thinking about using (2) 10 ft pressure treated 4x4"s, joined with a 2ft long scarf joint (cut by lumber yard). The joint will be screwed & glued and a 5/8" x 3 1/2" x 2' long plywood doubler on each side(screwed & glued).
My plan is to mount (bolt) the strongback onto three B&D "WorkMate" benches with the scarf joint on the middle bench.
I'm hoping the pressure treated wood will not warp in a heated garage keep at a min.of 40 Deg.F when I'm not working on the kayak. Please comment, I value your knowledge & opinions.
