Doug Arnold said:Nope - means they are the thickness of one trestle closet together than 6 inches. Measuring "on-center" is from the center of one member to the center of the other. Studs in your house are usually 16" on center or just under 16" apart.
I never thought about the comment until this morning. Sean, you said you built 6" "on center." Doesn't that mean the trestle bents are 1 foot apart?

Well lets say they are supposed to be 16 inches!
Thanks for the explanation. I was confused. I knew what you meant but my brain was in neutral! Or reverse?
