    evil-98 1 thing to note, you mentioned wanting to use Stainless screws, but the only screws that really come in black are steel ones with a Black Oxide coating, aside from custom ones which I doubt you were looking to do :P

    Can blacken any metal, even stainless.

    I can't believe you fooled me with those renders...I though those were pictures lol. VERY well done.

    One thing you may be interested in from all the prototypes we machined. The depth you have for threads will likely strip out the first tightening if your planning on aluminum like 6061. It requires about 3/16 inch of thread area if you want to be able to apply even medium pressure. Thats why I went with the full span threading on ours.

    Do you do rendering for customers by any chance? I work in solid Works and it's rendering is pretty plain. If your interested please PM me.
