Considering the number of screws in his design I don't think it's necessary to complicate it by adding different fastening methods.

You can totally tap 10-24 or 10-32 into 1/4" plate just fine - I was talking about tapping into the SIDE of the plate. The .190ish hole in the .25" ish material is really cutting it close, and a #8 screw at the very least would be more comfortable.
