What happens here

Cut two more pieces of wood for the cross-braces that connect the X-frame legs. Measure and mark these pieces to be 32 inches long with a 35-degree angle cut at each end to allow them to sit flush when installed. Use a measuring tape to find the correct placement on the legs: measure 18 inches down from the top of the legs. Then, use an impact driver to attach these cross-braces, ensuring they are positioned approximately half an inch away from the leg, allowing for folding. Repeat for both sides of the X-frame.

Goal: Strengthen and define the folding X-frame legs.
