In Response To: Re: ladder strongback *PIC* (Scott Fitzgerrell)

: Speaking of ladders: I stripped two hulls on side-by-side
: strongbacks, each made from a section of an extension ladder,
: with 1/2" shop ply screwed to the rungs to make platforms
: for mounting form supports and to create a handy work surface
: for tools and clamps (photo). Since I work on my driveway, I
: rigged wheels and legs to these assemblies to move the hulls in
: and out of my garage. They were very lightweight and stable, and
: when I was done I got my ladder back.

I knew I had a photo of that dang thing somewhere....
