We put it all together in preparation for drilling the holes for the final bolts.
With clamps holding the corner tight against the rails, a jig holding the drill straight, and a stop collar regulating the depth, we drilled holes for the bolts that hold the rails to the corners. The holes are wider than the bolts, to allow for adjustment when tightening the bolts.
The holes go through the rails, and mark the target spots on the corners.
To maintain straightness, we used the drill press to finish the holes.
Brass inserts will hold the bolts without stripping the wood. A ratcheting screwdriver is perfect, as cordless screwdrivers just don't have the power, and non-ratcheting screwdrivers require constant readjustment of your grip.
