Tonight we completed the drilling and tapping of the holes for the end pieces. We hand tapped the holes and then tapped in the half inch threaded rod using soap as a lubricant. File off a groove on opposite sides of the end of the rod. This allows it to cut and enter cleanly.
Once the rod is threaded through the pieces, one end had a bolt welded on and the other end two bolts so that it can be disassembled if need be.
Leo discussed the strength of various thread patterns.
