table hardware - mdhills - 02-27-2022 What are good places to look for steel hardware for slab tables? (I'm thinking of the u-shaped bars sometimes inset on solid wood tops to help hold the top flat; or metal bases to go with slab tops) I've seen Symmetry Hardware mentioned by Blacktail studio; any other recommendations? thanks, Matt RE: table hardware - atgcpaul - 02-27-2022 I DIYed mine using C-channel from Home Depot. Separately off eBay I bought threaded inserts and flat head bolts. I drilled oversized holes in the C-channel for expansion/contraction and the bolt heads are wide enough that they don't slip through. After my channel was cut and drilled, I wiped them down with solvent to remove the oils and then sprayed them black from a rattle can. It was probably 30-50% of the price of buying premade ones I've seen online. |
