Thank you JC and Kent,
My problem is that I don't like things that aren't 100% correct (or should I say 'Perfect'). I know now (JC-I very nearly put here 'why you cry' here) that I should just go on the dims that my tutor has given me for the screw and not how it looks to the eye. To clarify- it seems that I have just been too meticulous about it. Apologies.

If you feel like you want to continue beating your head against a wall by all means please do not let me stand in your way. Beat on good man, beat on. In the meantime I'm going over to the nearest medical supply store and buy some gauze, 4x4 pads, surgical tape and an ice pack. You're gonna need 'em.

Clarification is what I need, not sarcasm. Thanks.

Let me tell you a quick story:
Where I work there is a man who was learning to MIG weld at night in college and he asked me for a hand. We only get 30 minutes for dinner break but I regularly gave up 15 minutes of it most days to help him. He is not the brightest of fellas but I still answered every one of his naive questions and was patient with his amateur mistakes. When he asked those naive questions I took my time and answered them the best I could, no matter who irrelevant I thought it. That is how to help people.

Bob, lighten up. It was a joke.
Apparently I did not devote enough time and effort to help you. My bad.
Well I wish you luck with the remainder of your assignment. Time to sever this connection.
Have a sparkling day there Bob and I mean that in the happiest, most friendly and cheerful of ways.
Adios amigos.

No JC, you've missed the point. It was nothing to do with the amount of time or effort. Both were very much appreciated (as stated in my posts). It was the replies that did not help that got me. I like help, but perhaps a little patience would have helped more. Thanks for the help this far.
