The center point of each end of the
strongback was carefully measured and marked. Fishing line was stretched taut end to end between the marks. Pencil marks were made 12" apart along the length of the line. The marks were joined to make a perfect centre line down the
strongback.
Starting from the centre of the
strongback lengthwise, 12" centre marks were made for positioning the molds.
It is imperative that this marking be square to the centre line, and all measurements be exact, as these are where the forms for the canoe will be placed. Marks that are off centre, etc, will result in a canoe that is not perfect in shape.
