In Response To: Re: Strip: external strongback (Allan)

Someone posted images some time back of an external strngback made of two flat planks connected at the ends but bowed out on the middle. The claim is that it is very light, but very stiff. Maybe someone can find that photo.

Bjorn Thomasson has a simple strongback in his building log at http://www.thomassondesign.com/en/building/building-manual/preparations
