I knew it would have to be done someday Ed. I never put all of the screws in it because it would take too long to put them in and remove them when the time comes. It also costs a few bucks just to buy all the alloy socket head cap screws. I have a couple thousand on order right now at $.07 each.

Here are some more pictures of the I beam frame coming together. I spent about 28-30hrs putting this much together. Every hole had to be re-tapped to make sure the 0-80 screws go in easily. My thumbs and fingers get cramped up doing all those.
