Materials
- Threaded Rod
- Nut of the same size
Fabrication instructions
- Cut the threaded rod to a little longer (enough to thread thru most of the nut) than you need the bolt.
- Thread the nut on the rod so that the rod is about 2/3 of the way thru the nut.
- Plug weld the two together, taking care to protect the threads from spatter.
- A good way to do this is to put the apparatus into a vise so only the bolt is exposed.
- Also, you could hang it thru a hole.
