Side Support info

Post by johnnyg » Thu Jul 21, 2016 3:20 pm

I haven't seen much discussion about this, but is there an optimal size (width and thickness) for the side supports? Would this be relative to the side thickness and height? Placement seems somewhat flexible, but are there guidelines for this as well? Pictures I dig up show 5 to 6 per side. Any other tips and tricks in this area I should consider?

Thanks for the input,

Ken's manual has a detailed how to on this. I follow his method and it seems to be pretty foolproof.
