Thanks! After decades as a DIYer, I learned something new here; namely, that the fastener length is "whatever goes into the hole". So, for flat-head machine screws, the official way is to measure the whole length. Not a big deal if you're taking a sample screw to the store to match, but is important if you're ordering without a screw to match.

You checked the thread pitch wrong. The ridges are above the labels, but you tested the ones below. For example, at 3:29 you say "I'm going to come over to the 13 and try that", but you use the ridges below the 13. The ridges for 13 thread pitch are actually above the "13" label. At 5:28 you say 18 but are actually on 20.
