Thanks once again for the replies. I have some new pieces coming my way and will attempt to work on it. I have to admit that with the frames I've been building (all for me), I've been trying different things to try to learn as much as I can. I certainly don't mind making mistakes, and here is a prime example of one. This next attempt, I'll be sure to have the full front triangle put together and pin and tack each joint and then align and then move on to completing the joints.
Thank you for all of your insight. I'm learning a ton.
