As far as I know Popular Mechanics Magazine never issued plans before a prototype was built and tried. Like PS and S&M, they sometimes used a bit too much praise for their designs. This means that it will work. Whether it will suit you and your intended usage is another matter that you will have to decide.

You could build a modern design, a whole lot faster, with much less materials, then that old plank on frame job.
