Even better, stress analysis through Inventor shows it to be much stronger than just 1/8th box channel .

Originally our plan was to use T-nuts as much as possible, but we found it unnecessary after getting into build season a bit more.
What type of wood? Does the stuffing run the entire length of a rail?
