What do you guys recommend?

What kind of resources do you have? Mills, Lathes, hand tools? etc.
When you say PVC, are you talking about PVC piping or solid chunks of PVC machined down?
For tread, why don't you experiment with both, or however many combinations you can find and see what works best!
Good luck!
