Both the VersaFrame T gusset and the VersaChassis gussets have holes every 1/2". Did you mean a 1/4" offset?

A tool to punch holes in tread for the alligator clips would be great - we mangled about a quarter of our clips, and half of the other three-quarters aren't quite right. The ideal form of this tool would have a ledge for the setback and small hole punches (not awls) to make the holes.

A miter box for versaframe to help put the hacksaw exactly where it should be for square, 30 degree, 45 degree, and 60 degree miters.

VF Gussets for 37 degree and 53 degree angles (that is, the acute angles of a 3-4-5 triangle). And a miter box for that, too.
