I can't see that working: the stays are pushing against each other, so there is no way of controlling the amount each stay is bent.
Scilly.Suffolk-
Yeah I see what you mean, although in the vid he does check the frame alignment afterwards to ensure the dropouts are equally spaced. I suppose that's a benefit of the earlier methods he tries, i.e. using the plank of wood and bending the stays using the seat tube as a pivot, that way you can space each side at a time.
