Re: Strip: strongbacks
In Response To: Strip: strongbacks (Marc Donnelly)
The aluminum ones look really cool, forms slide on real nice, and are dead straight (unless something happens). But I priced them out a few years ago and between the cost of the extrusion and shipping, I just could not justify it. The plywood one I built has a slight bend in it, but I set up a center screw clamp fixed to a sawhorse screwed into the floor. Adjusting the screw brings the strongback to dead straight. Built three boats that way.
One thing I have thought about many times, is that there are a lot of unused sailboat masts out there. I bet one could make a nice strongback out of one of those for the price of hauling the thing away.
