Hi tchwrtr55, I do it the other way around for jigs that need to have the bolt below the surface of the jig. I get 1/4-20 stainless steel bolts frome Home Depot that have a round head and have a hex drive the same size as the SS allen wrench. I use a stainless steel washer, counter bore the jig for ...

We just purchased the house built in 1923 and the front pourch has a beutiful oak tounge and grouve ceiling. I do not want to cut int...
