Good point! Been thinking about that step as well. It is probably the first thing I'll be working on, seeing if it slips in easily but not TOO easily, and how it all lines up once the bolt is tightened down. And as you say, with no wobble.

If not, do what needs doing. The stage of making the wood look pretty will have to come after that.

And thanks for the tip on how to re-do the screw holes. I will keep it in mind.
