So, tell me about these screws... Are they just little machine screws? Do you do anything to thread the plastic or do you just screw it into a slightly smaller hole and the metal, being harder than the plastic, sort of burrows its own threads?
I guess I had assumed you were using some sort of nut on the other side, but from these pics it looks like it's just biting into the plastic itself...
Thanks for the pics! I love following your progress on this!

Thanks Lex,
You are exactly correct, they are little lag screws/machine screws/self tappers or whatever you want to call them, not sure where i got them from but maybe frame hanging sets have small lag screws in them so maybe thats where i got them from

Looking great Nylon. Shouldn't the driver be Carlos?
Thanks, why Carlos?
What an incredible build! The design and attention to detail is awesome. You're a very talented builder.
Thanks Weezer
Well, evenin all,
Hope everyone has been having a good weekend,
Me, I got 3,1/2 hours in yesterday and about 6 hours today, I've been keeping track and I've reached 100 hours on this project as of 1;15 pm today.
I think progress is going quite well, problems seem to be solving themselves as I go. Gotta love freestyle baby.
It's also inspiring to have you guys along for the ride, not sure where we are going to end up but it should be fun.
Thanks for your comments, greatly appreciated
