Hey Donald, great tips!  Could you tell me what size brad you used on the
bottom bar?  Also, are your bottom bars grooved?  When you said you put two
brads in the bottom bar joint, do you mean two brads at each joint, or two
brads total, one at each end?  Sorry for the questions, but you seem to have
the answers I've been looking for!

Thanks
Mark
