    this is the reach the 3 pices is 12 and 5/16th long, by 5/8 '' by 3/8 th the front and back header is 6 1/2'' by 5/16'' thick and 5/8'' wide, the front is 5/16'' thick by 7/8ths wide theu have a curve so give your salf a little room so you have the wood, and you want to use maple or birch for your gear, and framing, so it stays in place never use pine, theres so much time in one of thses don't wast it for saveing or useing soft wood. you can do what you like, but that's just my thought and it's your time.... the joints you will use Mortise and Tenon joints....
