Yeah, I am building a Guillemot L too. The form placement looks good. As an extra step, I would insure you do not have any rocker in the strongback.. ie.. warping up and down. To check this I would shoot a straight line down each side of the strongback exactly half the width of the strongback/ form opening. If its a 4 inch wide strongback, reference down 2 inches. I would mark this on each of the forms also for precise alignment. Here in Florida everything warps. I had warpage both side to side and up and down on my 3/4 thick strongback... Also in aligning the stations I found that yellow braided fishing line worked better than a carpenter's string. Braided line has just a little stretch and enables precise placement of the forms.. Of course a laser will work too....
