I used the cross member widths from the plans, I measured from the plans
using a pair of dividers, and just marked out 4 times with the dividers on
the cross member I was making. On the shorter cross members, run through the
process 3 or 4 times as a small error in measurement from the plans is x by
4, worked out very precise for me, but that is not to say you will find this
method comfortable. Be careful to make sure you do not measure a lower cross
member width when actually making a top cross member. I also marked the
centre of the member with a pencil line around all four sides, very very
useful later for alighning purposes. The other tricky part I found in the
process was making sure the ends of the member were chamfered to the correct
angle, I'm not clever enough to think of an easy way to do this so just had
to cut and fit, cut and fit until it fitted
