confused about top mounting joysticks on wood
<< < (2/2)
JesterDEV:
You could use a epoxy that hardens into plastic. Once it's hard just sand it down till it's flush. There is also a glue I think it's called wood filler but don't qoute me on that. It's a glue that you can use to fill holes in wood. It's easier to sand then the epoxy (allot easier) and you may be able to pop it out later.

If you want to change out the sticks later you just unscrew the nut (as the bolt wil be held in place by the glue/epoxy) and slip the grommit (?) off. :)

You don't countersink the bolt head, you countersink the t-nut. Drill a hole in the top, big enough to hold the t-nut flange. Slam in the t-nut and screw in the bolt from below.

Your home shopping store should have the stuff to fill the holes. I guess it's called filler (I only know the dutch word for it)  The t-nut is stuck in the wood by the nails so you don't need anything strong to hold it. Just something to fill the hole. Make sure it's something that doesn't shrink too much. So use a filler type that's for "larger holes".
