: A photo would help.

: Since you're using the hollow beam- are you sliding the uncut end form into
: the hollow beam, or are you cutting the end form to match the shape of the
: (appropriately trimmed) beam?

: And to double check- does the total height of your end forms equal the total
: height of your station forms (if you're off .5" on top, you should be
: off -.5" on the bottom, right?)

: C.

Well like I've said, I've only used external strongbacks, so a photo won't of mine won't help.

I'd suggest getting a copy of Nick's excellent book, lots of pictures to help.

My copy is pretty tattered by now, I use it as reference all the time.
