I cut a 3 layer pine wood board with a rail saw into the right size

and many of little pieces of scrap wood.

The small pieces were sanded with a edge sander and the board with a random orbit sander.

I played around with all this little pieces, to find a good solution.

For a bigger piece I drilled two holes, screwed it on with a the first screw, check the squareness, made little corrections and then I screwed the second screw in.

For a small piece, I drilled only one hole and add a drop of wood glue on it.

Hidden Mounting Holes

Two rectangular pieces got only one screw. So you can turn them. Under these pieces are the mounting holes.

Finish
