Where's the end of the strongback?

---

From: "Steven Correll"

I'm a little concerned that in the Micmac plan in your book the stem plans don't seem to have a mark as to where you would cut it for placement on the strongback. Maybe I just need to look at it some more for it to become clear.

Steve,

I admit it's a little hard to find. Look at the centerline of the patterns, on the bottom half of the sheet, for the words "end of strongback for stem," running vertically. The stem extends to the left of that line, the strongback extends to the right, and the cleat for mounting the stem to the strongback would be attached where the words "top of strongback" appear.

Steve says "The confidence and enjoyment that I have derived from
the journey is of much greater value than that of the finished product."
