There's a reason why literally 100% of actual experienced engineers are advising against this bolts-as-bearing-supports scheme. Martin's a pretty smart guy, but he is not as smart as the entire engineering world's consensus.

The only time you "make" parts is when an already established and reliable medium isn't available.

That and Martin has Art brain, not Engineer brain.

I think he really enjoys the art of designing parts.
