Nice!

Drilling and tapping that many holes in what looks like a 1" plate was loads of fun, wasn't it. 60" of hole drilled 60" of hole tapped. Oh yea, that's a day's work.

Ah, so you only had to drill through 45" of material. Whew. That saved a bunch!

Might be able to borrow/rent a magnetic drill next time. Makes the job much easier.
