In Response To: Strip: Strongback question (Chris)

: I am almost done drawing up my Guillemot, but I have one problem. I cannot
: seem to fit a 2x4 strongback that goes from the second form to the second
: to last form. I know you have to taper the strongback at the ends so that
: it will fit. However, in order for the strong back to fit within the
: forms, it has to be less than 1" tall at one end, this seems way to
: small. Has anyone else had this problem? Can I get by with going to the
: third to last form at one end? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I decided to buy the plans for that reason (and as a way of supporting the designers efforts). I figure the forms will have the strongback lines marked on the end forms.
