Do to circumstances beyond my control (wife) I was unable to complete the assembly of the brake. However, I have all the parts ready for assembly. So for now, I will post some pictures that will be helpful to you in the fabrication of this machine. The set of pictures that I will give you today will focus on the 5" channel. The first picture is to show you that for assembly purposes you DO NOT want to completely notch the corners. You don t want to complete this notch at first because you want this part of the channel left on so that you can use the corner for lining up the channel with the layout lines on part 1. I have a simulation picture of this it will be the third picture that you see in this posting.
Anyway, this first picture is a close up of how much of the notch you should complete at this point in the assembly process. This saw kerf is from the end of the peice through the web of the channel.
