Re: Low Cost Field BOM

OK, I studied the list a bit better now. Here is what puzzles me the most:

How do you mount the 3 casters??
There are only 8 carriage bolts, you would need 12 to mount the casters. And they are too long anyway. There are only 2 hex bolts - maybe it was a mis-print and it should be 12 not 2?? But 3/8" bolts seem about the right size for this size caster.

What are the 3/4" deck screws used for??
What could you possible hold with 3/4" deck screws other than maybe some carpet?

Here is another clue - they are not specifying the caster part number. This means that the height or strength of the caster is not super important.
