Here is the offending angle

Basic but looks alright

Granted they look it in the photo but I assure you they are dead flat and all stretchers are 90° on ends and equal in length. The stretchers Are actually cut as parallelograms to match the 10°tapper on the front of the legs anyway it's all glued up I am happy enough with the results. I will post...

That was the first time I used it tbh everything else was set up using jigs and stopblocks and I used a tape to get the original dimensions to size I don't use a tape to measure everything I cut just for initial setup and make everything else repeatable on the tablesaw
