Step 3Upright frame member
I had some 3/4 inch birch leftover from another project. I cut a piece 4 1/8 x 5 5/8 inch for the vertical piece you see here attached to the end of the angle iron.
The four nuts and washers seen in the corners defining a rectangle are 1/4 inch threaded rods 7 1/8 inch long each. They are part of the clamping system to hold the router body. The center bolt at the bottom fastens the end of the angle iron to the vertical frame member and is a bevel head screw long enough to pass through the lower part of the router body clamp. That will become clearer in another step. One longer piece of angle iron would have made this extra bolt unnecessary, but my angle iron was too short.
