Got some help from here earlier last month. Was able to complete the project, with help from another friend in person while building it.
Mistakes:
- Incorrect vision on the widths led to wrong measurements, we needed the inner to be very wide. The side should have been around 6-8 inches total, it turned out almost 10-12 inches
- Incorrect settings on the drill always led to the screw/drill slipping. Learnt later that we should keep high setting for pre-drill, low setting when driving
New things learnt:
- How to use circular saw for the 2x4 cross cuts
- How to use jigsaw to make inner precision cut in a ply sheet (initial circular hole in 2 opposite corners and then jigsaw at right angles)
- Method to Pre-drill for 2x4 (i think it’s called pilot holes)
- Glue and then screw with use of clamps
Overall, framing looked solid, 2x4 was overkill, it turned out to be too heavy. Could be done with a 1x4 without it being wobbly
Thanks people for all the help.
