It all worked very nicely. I don't have pictures of the main frame assembled, yet, but it is almost done. Next will come building the support for the front wheels.

Progress
As you can see in the photo below I have added the supports for the third pole so I will have a strong, triple poled frame.
I built these braces a little differently than the first, as you can see from the close-up below.
I cut each brace pole on a 30deg angle, and drilled their mortises at a similar angle around the main poles, so that they meet in the middle snuggly. Only one of them required any real trimming to make snug. Then I make three oval holes in the third pole, set it down over these braces, and secure with a single pin through both braces. This oval hole is on the large side. To keep it from getting too large, and weakening the pole, I notched the peak of the braces.
It all worked very nicely. I don't have pictures of the main frame assembled, yet, but it is almost done. Next will come building the support for the front wheels.
