: This 2" x 4" internal strongback was glued with a polyurathane
: glue, and nailed every six inches or so at each edge with fencing nails
: with textured shanks. The vertical pieces are cut for a rabbet joint.

: The vertical 3/4" ply widths produce a 1/2" slot in the middle that
: the end forms fit into.

: John

Thanks, John

I think this is the route I will take. I dearly want to avoid any twisting whatsoever. This yak will take me two years to build because of time constraints so I have to get the initial set-up right the first time.
