: No twist at all. The strongback is 3/4" plywood and constructed per Nick
: Schade's book.

: The 3/4" ply leaves a 1/2" width hole in the center that is PERFECT
: for inserting bow and stern end-forms made from 1/2" plywood. I cut
: the strongback top and bottom ends and insert the 'full' end forms,
: instead of cutting the end forms to fit around the strongback.

: This is the second boat built on this strongback. I extended it about one
: foot after building my last boat.

I see two layers of 3/4" fir plywood. What did you glue it with?
