Having started many moons ago with backstrap setups and warps wound
round dowels that kept slipping whatever I tried, may I suggest an
alternative for the back.
If you look at fig 13 in Peter's book - the cloth take-up device. I
use this all the time and think it's marvellous. You could use two of
those - one for each end, in the same place as your beams in the
diagram. They could either be attached to each other by two very long
bolts or use four shorter bolts and two strong rubber bands as
tensioners between them. That way you wouldn't need to drill (and
inevitably weaken your frame.
