Haha, I can only change stuff here though and I don't even know how.lol No need to change things. I know some of the details probably won't make it onto the mini trailer but we'll get it close.

The tap didn't get hot. That's just the coating they apply(gold color). You can see that they are not the best quality as the coating has already worn off the tip after tapping just a few holes. They actually cut fairly well but it slipped between my thumb and finger causing it to "flick" sideways and breaking. I'm glad I bought two or I would be in trouble!

I do have one of those Bo but I've never used it. I'm sure it would work well though. I had the frame set up in the vise on my mill and was tapping a few holes by hand as I went so that I could install the suspension and figure out the best axle spacing. I was tapping a hole close to the chuck on the mill and didn't really leave enough room for a good grip. My fingers slipped and boink. It was my fault for not giving myself more room and they are Chinese taps so the quality isn't great. Thankfully I was able to wind the broken piece out. Once the rails were taken off the mill freehand tapping was no problem but it did make me say bad words when the brand new tap broke.lol
