What are all of these extra parts you are using? There are 2 wood screws on the bottom, I'm guessing a machine screw to tighten onto the 8mm rod mount in the middle, simple enough-
but the top/handle portion, it looks like you have two lock nuts against each other, but I'm assuming that is false. Does the threaded rod go all the way up into the circular handle portion? Is that a nylon spacer with the rod inside, or on top of something else?
I love the design, maybe you would get more support if you provided clear list of materials and instructions. :)
I originally assumed the lock nut would be inside the circular handle portion, but now that I'm building it, I see that I'll have to make something else myself.
