Hi Guys,
It has been a while since I have been to the sight. Life has gotten very busy. I have moved to Hillsborough and am enjoying the change of pace.
In preparing for the move, I disassembled our dining room table. It is a teak Scandinavian table I bought at Danco on Hwy 70 about 15 years ago. Still looking good and holding up. When I disassebmled the tabletop and the base supports, I put the tabletop bolts back where they came from. Unfortunately, I put the supports nuts and bolts together in a plastic baggie and have not been able to find them yet.
The base was made up of two 'T's each formed by two pieces of wood, one edge butt-ending into the middle of the second (perpendicular) to make a 'T'. Lots of support. The butt joint is help together by two screens and nuts like you see in some bed frames. There are two holes in the middle of the top of the 'T' where it buts into the 'trunk' of the 'T'. The bolts go in there. There is a hole drilled into the 'trunk' of the 'T' for the bolt to go down to a hole drilled into the side of the 'trunk' board.
A round nut slides into the hole and the screws into the nut and there are no visible fasteners unless you see the bolt head (which is hidden) or happen to look down the nut hole.
Long description to ask two simple questions. Can anyone put a name to the type of nut and bolt I have described? They are pretty common. And, second, can you tell me where I might be able to buy them?
Thanks...
