Methods for hiding "errors" can be tested with reckless abandon and ultimately the dust of it's surroundings **will** hide even more issues for free!

I'm not going to do that because I want these to break down and store away without being mega akward to store. Honestly just using them as is feels totally fine and the body position is only slightly akward if you have bad technique like I did at first but once you get the hang of things it's really not so bad. I'll likely just be using these for now and not keeping up with there use long term though since these absolutely need a long handled saw to be effective and I only have the 1 harbor freight pull saw which while functional I will not be replacing in the future. +* V: some footage of putting these things together and also breaking them down +* E: Again nothing except for a smooth transition between footage of the setup & breakdown of the pieces ( no finished parts just yet ) + +## Making things clean + +* V: For the sake of completeness and asking "what if" I'm going to add a couple of details that really do go a *long way* to making these look so much better than they normally would.
