Skin-on-Frame: Bjorn's Strongback alignment

Need to build a new strongback and I am seriously interested in the simple methods used by Bjorn Thomasson. I read that he pulls a string down the center and uses that to align the frames. That makes sense, but what I don't follow is how he aligns the frames at 90 degrees to the string. I can think of a couple ways you could do this but I have learned to ask. Someone probably has a super simple method to do this.
