The way Shrunken66Stroker did it is a better method to insure a straight frame.
Take, for example; cutting it straight down and then being off by 1/16 of an inch. Now multiply that 1/16" by half the length of the frame. It only takes being off by a small fraction to translate to much over the length of the frame.
