Thanks.

I'd given this idea some thought. I like the wing nut idea but that
makes replacement of the wooden rail a PIA (requires accurate rail
drilling plus countersinking plus machine screw and wing nut) that I'd
rather avoid. With the current setup, all it takes is three screws and
a strip of inexpensive 1x1 to minimize part costs, have easy field
maintainance, and reliable accuracy.
