-====== How to Efficiently Build Support Beams ======
+====== Building Support Beams ======
 NOTES:
-* Use a custom actions mod bind (bind yourkey "act 607 hover") to add a support beam to a crafting window slot to build.  If you try to build support beams from your inventory they will drop from the crafting slot intermittently when the wood type changes on the materials you're using.
+* Quick bind or use a custom actions mod bind to the "Add to crafting window" action.  Use this to quick add a support beam to a crafting window slot to build.  If you build support beams from your inventory they will drop from the crafting slot intermittently.
+  * Quick bind—To quick bind hover over a right click menu action and press and hold a key to assign until it appears in the menu.
-* This method may require a certain strength level to be able to hold everything in inventory, so you may have to make adjustments.
+  * Custom actions mod—In console window (F1) type the command:  **bind yourkey "act 607 hover"**
 I'm recording this here for posterity, and to remind myself as well, since I always forget this method for some reason.

 . Make a pile of unfinished support beams (up to 98, leaving room). The remaining items needed to complete each support beam will be 1 log, 2 shafts and 2 ribbons.
-. Drag 8 logs, 16 ribbons and 24 shafts into inventory (for finishing 8 support beams at a time).
+. Drag materials to inventory.  I use 8 logs, 16 ribbons and 24 shafts at a time, which lets me finish 8 support beams in one load.
 . Use the custom actions bind (above in Notes; or a quick bind) to add a beam to a crafting slot.
 . Complete the support beam using logs, ribbons and shafts.
 Repeat steps 2 through 5 until all support beams are finished.
+TIP: I use a similar method for making taxidermy kits.  I use an expanded bulk storage container (note, not the containers within, the unit itself) which gives it a 100 slot inventory.  I use this inventory to store my unfinished taxidermy kits while building them.
