Hey, Michael. Nice update, It's definitely been a while!

If you'd like the holes you tapped to be clear, i found using a tapping fluid helps a LOT. Look into Tapmatic natural oil if you like, i think it's good. also, on the tapping subject, are you using a real tap or just a screw?? It doesnt appear to have the grooves down the side like a regular tap, but I'm probably just blind?

Anyway, great work, mate
