I am still in the process of cutting my frame (24x42 queen post) but am thinking ahead. Is it practical to wait to drill all peg holes until the bents are assembled on the deck as opposed to drilling mortises during the cutting and then assembling bents and completeing holes through the tennons? I am planning on using straps and come alongs to draw bents tight together on deck as oppossed to draw boring. Also is their a commercially availabel hand saw that does a better job of cuttin end gain (rip) than the stanley "fat max" Im currently using? Not sure if my cardiovascular system will hold out on the 11" deep end mortise cuts? Also when errecting frame is it reasonable to stand entire frame and then go back and commander plum/align bent by bent or do you do this as each bent is set in place, plumbing and bracing as you go? Someone on another post mentioned strongbacking the connecting girts and going back through later and pegging? Thanks in advance bman
