Perfect. Nice, well-lit and professionally organized shop, too.
One question, though. From the pic it looks like the strongback is against the wall, without enough room to get in and strip the other side. If the plan is to strip out one side, turn it around and strip the other, better consider this: the stresses built in from Side 1 can overpower the strongback and warp the keel. Don't ask how I know that, but I do have some ideas for straightening it out that have been proven in the shop. 
: Thanks again for all your ideas. I decided on storing my strips over of the
: strongback. I may also be able to use the supports to hang a plastic
: curtain over the kayak when it comes time to epoxy it.
