In industry the people who don't do the work are called project managers.

That wil look really good with the firebox and engine mounted on it.  I'd put the firebox over the piece of wood that is a bit different if you can,    

Cheers    

Chris

That looks great! The current screws will serve as pilot holes making the brass screws easier to install.
