Hi,

Today I rested my hand on one of the boards and felt the glued and stapled joint give so a brace was glued underneath the joint.  The drilling jig was used to drill a hole that could be tapped M6 so a bolt could be fitted to secure an adjacent board.  A another jig was made to drill and mark out the aluminium angle brackets that would be fitted to the same board end as the bolt to support the bolted board.  The narrower of the boards that hinge together had a pair of guides fitted to locate the two boards when folded.
