Ron the stringers look really good, nice and straight. That's going to be quite the landing dock when finished. Keep at it and enjoy.

Getting them nice and straight like you did isn't easy.
Thanks Rick,

I would have taken a lot harder to align everything without the jig.

Thanks Larry,

It needs to be sturdy is it will support 3 buildings and a ton of junk when completed.

Thanks Jerry,

Without the jig, getting everything in perfect alignment would have been a near impossible task.

Ron,

I'll agree with all the other comments on your stringers. Great job and the coloring looks natural as well.
