DISCLAIMER
Use this design at your own risk. I take no responsibility for any injuries that occur from using this product.
I have made one of these and assembled it. The design should go together but variations in material thicknesses may mean that the joints are too tight or to loose. If the pieces do not fit together use a chisel to widen the holes that the tabs fit into.
