I changed the way the top box is affixed, adjusting it's size

Do yourself a favor and buy a box (100) of 1/2"-13 x 4" lg hex head
bolts,

a box of (100) of 1/2"-13 hex nuts and 5 pound box of fender washers.
It seems that those would be useful at top and bottom of the vertical
"risers" (8 in all). Would you use them in additional places on this
project?
I have been intending to make liberal use of lag bolts to hold most of the
pieces together. Advice is always welcome!

Lay out the bolt holes using trig function calculations.

Assemble and get a beer.

Enjoy the results of your efforts and move on to next job.

BTW, buying full boxes of fasteners is the ONLY way to get
a decent price.
