accuracy of the frame. We were aware of the slight inaccuracy of the dowels and the affects that would have on our design. Thus, to be cautious we created a series of layouts to ensure the pattern would be as precise as possible. Another concern was the attachment of the end caps to the dowels and the need for both end caps on either side to be parallel. Constructing these layouts has allowed us to fabricate this as accurate as possible, minimising human error.
