(below). Stop pin is 2 3/4 in from end of tube.

End view of crossbar. Double notches align w/stop pin
in uprights, keeping it all relatively rigid.
The ends of crossbars are TAPERED! Beginning about 3"
from the end, tubing tapers from 0.880" down to 0.840"
at the bottom of the notches. Makes for easy slip-fit assembly.

degrees. I placed the upright perpendiculat to the wall for this
shot. Stop pin is easily visible here.
