Kenny, that is a though, but the inside measures 1" x 3" so I'll stick with the blocks, (simple rip and a stop block over at the RAS). Besides I need to narrow the end and reduce the height at the ends. The plan is to use a 1x4 shaped as needed, that can slide inside the box beam. Advantage of that will allow me to slide it in further to release the forms from the ends and pull the frame out after it's built.
