Gary Setter is right! The first time I ever used Lynn Westcott's great L girder system described in "How to Build Model Railroad Benchwork", I realized the angles of your girders and braces really don't even have to be perfect. Risers can be adjusted for the final leveling and height of the roadbed. The L girder is very very solid and easy to build. The whole thing is fantastic for a non perfectionist who wants to get it done fast. You need only a few C clamps, a power drill-screwdriver, drywall screws, and a mitre or circular saw to save a lot of labor. Use 1 by 3's and you'll be fine, and you'll enjoy building it, even if you hate carpentry! It's very forgiving and easy.
