Those cuts looks really straight for using a wood saw!

Cant wait to see the finished product. Looks like it's coming along nicely.

im guna bend up a Z shape. it will be .75x1.5x.75. The reason i cut it at at .75 in is so its not a perfect 90. perfect 90 ones just look tacky imo. and the .75 on either side will give it a little stregth. This is my first attempt and i have no idea really what im doing. If i mess it up ill try something else

Kinda like so.
