Matt - no sweat! I would much rather have criticism than silence, and you were very polite. Marking the straps with the plates laid out flat was a suggestion I had read somewhere else, but I don't think I will be doing it again.
Brian - yes, the bolts are a temporary measure. I knew there would be mistakes along the way so I wanted something I could undo easily. Your suggestion about the clout nails is very interesting to me since I have been having a very hard time finding solid copper rivets - I will have to look into that more.
I'm a little bit less clear on your comment about washers -- you seem to be saying they are a bad thing, but I haven't been using any, so...?
Thanks,
