How to Build the Salamander Archetype

[@biglsworth567]

Impossible to make this table perfectly level!!! Any tips?

[@fredoswego]

Put a big rubber band around the nut, then stretch if over a drill chuck - like a bicycle chain. Then run the drill to move the nut up/down.

Thank you Fred for your comments. Archetype is a very popular rack and offers good value

What is the width of the threaded rods in mm?

I cannot recommend this product having just purchased the archetype 5 stand. I have been through 2 sets of hardware (supplied by Salamander) and threaded rods and I still cannot thread the nuts onto the threaded rods. I think the paint finish on the rods has filled in the threads to the point of making the nuts extremely difficult to thread onto the rods. For the price they charge for this I expected a much better product. I am returning this product and looking for something else. This video is very misleading.

Steve, respectfully I think it is a little misleading in and of itself to claim that I am misleading anyone by simply showing them how to assemble their product. What did I say or do that is objectively false? I'm sorry to hear of your troubles with your Archetype. It sounds to me like there is a defect with your sets, and while I find it odd that two sets may have been so it is not impossible. However we've sold many of these and even have many on display across our showrooms and I have assembled them myself, and they worked well. Did you purchase your A5 from Gramophone? If so I'll see about reaching to Salamander for you.
