"The spray on rubber coating for the feet is a good idea, too"

I noticed that, good idea. I'll have to remember that one.

Try resizing the photos.  If using a PC, you can get to the function by right clicking then editing the image.  In image editor select the resize option and then bring down the pixel count.  You can still get good picture quality at about 1000 as the max pixel value on the long axis.

OK - Created app to reduce the size because I didn't want top open each one individually! - Done - From 2+MB to about 500kb!
Hope this works -

Hope this is posting....
Using everyone's info and pics here - Thanks everyone! I managed to cobble a couple together in between all the rain here in Chicago-land! Pics are my attempt to document the build - sorry first real attempt at the build as well as the pics  [unsure]
Frame is fir and the runners and end caps are cedar - wanted redwood - just could not justify the excessive cost.
I believe someone said the angle was 52 - got me started - mine ended up closer to 57 - probably because are dimensions are slightly off from one another? I used a piece of old base  board trim to space the runners and tacked them temporarily in place with the new cadex - used it instead of clamps wherever I could - because it was new  [cool] - then went back and drilled, countersunk and screwed.
Almost all screws are Fastcap powerheads with a few spax sprinkled in the mix, a few 3/8" x 2.5" bolts/washers/lock washers and nuts to hold the legs together - 
I was going to do the ends like the other posts - straight across - for strength as well as easy assembly - the Mrs wanted the angles... So.... I stared at it for awhile now that I had not planned this - Hope the pics help explain. I managed to make them as a pseudo sub-assembly. I clamped a piece of cutoff to the end vertically and marked a cut line. Then added the boards along that and screwed them till the entire end was covered - left the last screw out on the bottom as this would latter be attached to the leg runner. Reach underneath the draw the angular cut line - Pop the assy out after removing clamps - redo lines - cut to size, pop back in and finish screws in upright and bottom. anyway - Thanks again for all your posts and helping me stumble through this  [smile]
