I wanted the bolts to stick up from below, but with only a 1&#8243; plank, any hex-head or carriage bolt, plus the necessary washers, would have to be counter-sunk so far that it would weaken the base significantly. I looked at cabinet connectors, but their heads were not flat. I found elevator bolts at OSH, and they are perfect: they have large, flat heads (removing the need for a washer), a small hex head to hold the bolt from turning, and standard threaded shaft (in all the standard sizes). I used a forstner bit to add a 1\/8&#8243; countersink (so the underside of base would be completely smooth), but cranking down the bolt tightens it&#8217;s head snugly.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2016\/09\/boltinwood.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These bolt heads need only a 1\/8&#8243; countersink<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27485"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27485"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27485\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27488,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27485\/revisions\/27488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
