Here are some pics. My dh changed the way the legs sit (#3). It was easier to have the 2x4s connect this way (attached with screws from the outside) than to have them sitting flat on the ground as in the pattern. If I remember correctly, the pattern did not call for a brace bar. I have 2 other rails (longer) and a brace bar to make it fit with the longer rails.
The top bars are attached with carriage bolts. There is an extra hole so I can move the top bars to place the quilt at an angle.

I love your quilting frame, what size is it?
Awesome, and just found where you posted what book you got the idea from, thanks again for sharing with us
For those interested in the pattern for a hand-quilt frame -
I got my pattern from a book called The Big Book of Quilting

The book was in my local library. My husband made a couple modifications on mine. But you can change the size by changing the length of the rails.
