[QUOTE="SumDumGuy, post: 338944, member: 12459"] Why use carriage bolts? I would use a pan head type so there was not a square of metal rotating/carving the wood when the bolt/nut was tightened. Am I missing something (I probably am). As far as bolt supply goes. Figure out how many of each you need and then run through a couple places online. I cannot remember the place I got my bolts last time (somewhere out of TX), but almost all the places I tried were cheaper than Fastenal. {edit} Found it, this was the place...
