I believe that earlier you said that you were using 26 gauge galvanized sheet metal to form to parts of the boom sections. Since you silver soldered these parts, I've got a few questions:
1) How did you strip the galvanizing off before you silver soldered the parts together?
2) The upper and lower parts of the boom sections look like they are held together with a butt joint. How did you keep the parts aligned as you silver soldered them? (Those are some long joints.)
3) What silver solder did you use, and what flux?
4) What torch did you use for the 26 gauge material?

I've been looking for small lead-screws for one of the projects I've got on the back burner. I know that they make lead-screws down to a 2mm diameter, but I haven't been able to find a seller with both the lead-screw and the lead-nut. Al least not at a price that I am willing to pay for a hobby item. I can find one, or the other, but not both at the same supplier.

I hesitate to order from 2 different sellers, as some sellers can be "less than accurate" in their descriptions.
