 I recently made some "T-handles" or "Iron
Crosses" by inserting a
carriage bolt into a wooden dowel. Mine differ slightly from the items already posted in that I have glued plastic tips on the ends so that I don't scratch the floor or slip during push ups and knock myself silly. The push ups are just as tough, though. |

That's a good idea, patriot. When I saw the title of your post, I thought it had something to do with standing on the iron crosses. Do you mind if I add
your crosses to my site?

What's keeping the bolts in place? did you screw and glue them into the bottom or counter sink the dowel and add a lock washer and nut?

Justin.........................
On my Martial Arts page, I made the same thing. I drilled holes 1/32" less in dia than the dia of the bolts and then screwed the bolts into the wood. The bolts are in there securely. Beer! That frothy, golden nectar of the Germanic gods! Zen in the Art of Self-Resistance grunt & Shen's Workshop |

I drilled a hole slightly smaller than the 1/4 inch carriage bolts. I also drilled 3/4 to one inch into the wooden dowel. Then I screwed the wooden dowels onto
the carriage bolts. I used JB weld to stick the foot pieces onto the carriage bolt ends. I also put a drop or two of glue down the hole to secure the threads.
For more info, you can look at my "about me" page links.
