: I spoke to Michael at Newfound boatworks; I asked Michael about how

: line-up the station molds to one corner of the strongback and
: the molds should be lined up perfect.
: Give him a call if my explanation is unclear. I was considering
: buying the O.I. CNC cut station molds from him but I was kind of
: skeptical like you regarding an internal strongback.

: Good Luck,
