A long overdue response to @123toid and @tvor-ceasar. Thank you both for the tips. I made a couple of minor tweaks to the design suggested above, but it ended up close. I can’t believe how much I’ve learned from this forum in such a short time.
My parts express order arrived today. Can’t wait to put this together. Only problem is that woodworking season in Western Canada came to an abrupt end last week! Looking forward to posting the results (hopefully) soon!
