Hey Nathan,
You mentioned in a previous post the thing about the trapped nuts in the wooden corner brackets. As written, I had not done that - but will. Using the screws is not working very well; it is very difficult (i.e. impossible) to get the bottom frame aligned properly. When applying some force on the screws, they are basically pushed out of the wood or the wood splinters. It is too "brittle" (if that is the word) and also the wooden blocks are not accurate enough, so some force is required. So (next weekend) I will try to drill an additional center hole in the block (14 mm diam) and use M5 caps and nuts to fixate the bottom and top frame as per design. When the brackets are not fixated I can not get the whole thing together. Apart from that, it is all getting together pretty nicely.
