Joysticks with no bolt showing . . .
Nikodemz:
I went the countersink direction myself. I'm using 1/2 MDF, for a temporary cp, and machine screws which have a flat head so they are flush with the CP after being countersunk. THis was the best solution for me since the thing was going to get a lot of wear the first few days (my brother is in town) before I get a chance to cover the thing. Machine screws are great because they have a flat head but other wise behave just like small carriage bolts.

I hate feeling the bolds on top.
Authentic, my butt... it just doesn't feel good. Many control panels even have the dust disk under another layer so that it's very slick.

I used inserts myself, the 1/4" inserts are 5/8" deep though and you will need to cover the holes just like if you countersink carriage bolts or the likes...I'm happy with the results personally as my holes are all covered with formica
