can anyone make?

riclepp · 27 Jun 2014

I am after a three way bolt for a little stool i am making. I have looked on the net and can't find anything or it shows squirels and nuts.

It is for a three legged military stool, so quite smal.

If any one can help just pm me or if anyone knows where I can get them from just give me a shout.

Thanks in advance

I have an old wood working book that shows it cut from a flat plate and filed round, its a fair ammount of work.
Or a local metal fabricator should be able to weld one up from some bolts/studding.

Hi

Could you cut three pieces of studding to size, (easy enough with a hacksaw) and take them to a garage who could MIG them together?

I'd do it for you but the postage would cost more than getting it MIGed locally.

If you can't weld, but don't mind a bit of drilling and tapping, you could drill and tap 3 sides of a big nut, and run in some pieces of studding.
