Good thing is that when I put on the canvas it 'hides' my crappy cuts and looks pretty good. I'll always know it's there and won't ever be happy with it though.

I could have laid out the screws and washers better too, but it was tough to get the screw to stay on the drill head with one hand, screw it in, and pull like crazy to keep the canvass as tight as I could with the other hand. Should have got the wife to help I guess.
