woodworking partial fail: the end of the stained glass

The one thing I wasn't looking forward to doing was building the frame that would encase the stained glass I was commissioned to do for my friend's sisters' wedding. Is that correct possessive usage? UH, don't make me make a chart for that, too. As you might recall... many, many times over in fact, I am not competent when it comes to woodworking. I decided to make up a little checklist so I would keep myself on track. Here's how it went.

Right now I'm on #22. I literally can't f*** up from there on. Pictures of the final piece will be posted this Saturday, since I'm delivering the final pieces to her sister this Friday!
