commit the frame_box component necessary for the abandoned mount

so, that mount wouldn't have even been printable for anyone else anyway,
that's good, but this breaking out of a piece might as well be committed

+1. Prepare the frame top pieces --- `frame-piece-top-left-or-right`: this is your best shot to get auxillary buttons,
    panel connectors, and the like installed, so do it now, and give them a good tighten. You shouldn't need to adjust
    these again, so finish their installation while the pieces are free.
     1. This of course includes decorative plates --- e.g. `misc-decorative-plate-aux-control-three-button-cluster` ---
        you may choose to use. These are held to the top pieces by the buttons or component mounting screws.
 2. Start the top panels --- `top-panel-(inset|overhang)-*`: you want both to get the components installed now
    when it's easy, and to make sure that the overall assembly works with your components, so again get your buttons,
-   lever, etc., in place.
+   lever, etc., in place. You can secure them at this point.
     1. If you are using a button decorative plate that spans two panels --- e.g.
-       `src/misc-decorative-plate-dir_arc-plus-w-30mm-and-sega-2p-plus-one` --- don't tighten the buttons all the way,
-       as you may need some wiggle to align the panels to the frame in a later step.
-    2. If the above isn't the case, you can tighten all your buttons now.
-    3. If using a lever, don't forget the lever mount spacer --- `src/misc-lever-mount-sanwa-seimitsu` --- if you want
+       `src/misc-decorative-plate-dir_arc-plus-w-30mm-and-sega-2p-plus-one` --- take care to align the two panels as
+       tightly as possible, and accurately, as they will be hard to adjust once everything is secured and in the frame.
+    2. If using a lever, don't forget the lever mount spacer --- `src/misc-lever-mount-sanwa-seimitsu` --- if you want
        it, and tighten those mounting bolts now as well.
 3. Create the frame box by combining your `frame-piece-*` parts together. This will be relatively stable just via
    friction fit.
-4. Rest the frame top-up on a desk, and put the standoffs through the holes.
-5. Insert the top panels into the frame. The friction on this will probably be tight, and you may not be able to muscle
-   it in on your own. Get the panel posts at least partially into the frame columns, in any event. If you get all the
-   panels completely in, the next steps will be easier, but it's not imperative.
-6. Start the bolts for the top panels. Get it so that the bolts catch the standoffs, but don't tighten them completely.
-   You will want some wiggle when connecting the bottom panels, which is maybe the hardest part. Depending on your bolts
-   and how deep into the frame you got the top panels, you might need to push the standoffs up the column in order to
-   catch them with the bolts.
+4. Rest the frame top-up on a desk, and put the standoffs through the holes. This will probably be tight, and you may
+   even need a rubber mallet or similar to drive the standoffs through the holes.
+5. Insert the top panels into the frame.
+6. Insert the bolts for the top panels, make any last adjustments, and tighten them.
 7. At this point you have an open box with access to all your components. Do all of your wiring.
     1. Tighten the buttons and etc. if you didn't in step 2.
-    2. TEST YOUR BOARD AND COMPONENTS NOW! You don't want to have to undo the rest of the steps for something trivial,
-       trust me.
-8. Insert the bottom panels into the frame. This may be difficult. If you got the top panels into the frame in step 4,
-   and left the bolts loose in step 5, you can make the standoffs rise outside of the frame column, which makes it
-   easier to line up the standoffs with the bottom panel posts.
-9. Drive the bottom bolts into the standoffs. You probably don't have the panels all the way into the frame, but if you
-   can at least get the standoffs in the posts, you can catch them with the bottom bolts, and then let them guide the
-   panels into the frame.
-10. Tighten all the bolts. If you didn't get the top panels flush in step 4, you can apply the same logic as in step 8
-   and tighten the bolts to guide the panels into the frame.
+8. Insert the bottom panels into the frame.
+9. Insert the bottom bolts for the bottom panels, and tighten them.
 
 In the end, this should be extremely sturdy. None of the frame or panels should be loose at all, and you should be able
 to move, flip, gently toss, etc. the stick without anything moving or feeling loose.
