Total rookie question on mounting hardware

<< < (2/2)

kronic24601:
Typically you will first need to decide between top or bottom mounting. There are trade offs with each, but I don't like the idea of having to destroy my artwork by peeling it off the top to get to my joys if they need repairs of replacement ... so I went with Bottom mount. I decided the best solution for was to do a partial Metal partial wood CP. The whole CP is made of wood, but I bought some thing metal at OSH (local hardware store), just a little larger than the Joys, then drilled 1 large hole in the center and 4 holes for screws to support the joy. I recessed the metal mount from the top, and bolt the joys on the bottom. best of both worlds!

My suggestion would be to take a look at some of the projects here and see what others have done, I did this for a few months before I started to craft plans for my cab.
