Abstract of the Disclosure Apparatus for fabricating wood structures, such as wood trusses, having elongate means for supporting wood members in position for being secured together by nailing plates driven into two or more of the wood members at the intersections or joints of the truss from above and below by means of a press. The supporting means comprises an elongate track and a plurality of supports releasably securable to the track and being arranged in close back-to-back relation and being movable relative to one another along said track. The track has a pair of spaced track members with a gap therebetween and with each of the track mem- bers having a back face. Each of the supports has a base member having a generally vertical downwardly extending leg adapted to be received in the gap and to engage the back face of its respec- tive track member. A pair of support arms is secured to the base member and cantilevered therefrom for supporting the base members. These cantilever arms are spaced in side-by-side relation and support the wood members on the plane of the top surfaces of the arms for being secured together by nailing plates driven thereinto from above and below at a location between the arms by the press. A locator plate for supporting the lower nailing plate is carried by the arms for vertical movement between a lowered position in which it is spaced below the top surface of the arms for supporting a nailing plate with its teeth pointing upwardly below the wood members to be secured together, and a raised position in which the top face of the plate is generally flush with the plane of the wood members. Quick release clamp means engageable with its respective track member is provided for releasably securing said support thereto in any desired loca- tion along the track.
