I had to reconfigure the shop a bit to allow storing my tablesaw to leave enough room to walk around the 25 foot ama and keep the build table in place.
The strongback is made of two engineered beams laid over stout sawhorses. The beams are large and way overkill, but they are true and I got a great deal on them at the lumber yard.
The mounts for the bulkheads are MDF attached with 1.5 x 1.5 inch cross pieces. I made the internal span 30 cm to allow attachment with access to the bulkhead edges next to the hull panels.
The four inboard stations will be supported. Two outboard stations will overhang each end.
These are the bulkheads loosely propped in place. I'm waiting for a cross-beam laser level to arrive. The bulkheads have the horizontal and vertical centerlines scribed on them for accurate alignment.
Task time: 13 hours
Total project time: 610 hours
