Six legged walker with strong joints!

Step 5 Make the brass inserts.

 I had to lathe down some brass for the larger bolts. After that, sand them very smooth, then assemble everything, and cut them to fit. At this point, don some latex gloves, and grease everything.

This is somewhat of the moment of truth. As it turns out, truth wasn't good for me. My 31/64th id (.485ish) didn't jive well with the .480 bolts, so I lubed them up, and pressed them together with a vice. All the wear is going to be on the outside, apparently.
