Step 7Assembly of components
As you are in the process of building your components test fit your parts together. Don't be surprised if you have to modify some of them as they won't always fit. Depending on how they were manufactured your parts will fit together differently.
Ones made in a machine shop or with a CNC will most likely go together as designed, the more manual the manufacturing the more modification you will need to do. Just make sure to use the montra of "measure twice cut once" as it is very hard to make material grow once you cut it away.
The main advice in this process is don't get discouraged if you take your time things will go together just fine.
Notes:
if you are using threaded fasteners make sure to use high quality ones. The fasteners at the big box stores (home depot and lowes) are of low quality. I recommend ordering from McMaster Carr www.mcmaster.com or another industrial distributor.
