: For kayaks you have to build 2 of them one

: Really? Most externals I've seen handle both the hull and the deck: the forms
: stay in the hull, you flip the whole biz into cradles placed on the
: original strongback, and that's it. No second strongback.

: Am I missing something?

You still need something to flip the deck onto when working on the underside. Sawhorses work OK, or carpet cradles, or foam blocks, or lots of other ways too. A second full-blown strongback is not required, but some sort of support is.
