Re: Twisted Stems

Re: Alignment of upper and lower centerlines
Not sure the direction it's out but I'm guessing a twist. Search for "winding sticks" which you can use to see how much twist is in your strongback. I use them when I make torsion boxes which is what a strongback is.

Hello everyone
This is my first post. My name is Gary and I live in central Kentucky. I've been a woodworker for a long time and have picked building a canoe for this years big project. Last year I made a bunch of cabinets for the wife and got real tired of them by the end of summer. This year is a project for me ...
