plates, flying and otherwise

[John Ross]

Just one little thing re shimming the hole.
Hammer shanks would be end grain, which is not the best for screw holding, although the point might be mute, in large size screws.
I prefer bolts, to be sure.

  Hi Annie,

  Big snip

  tightening. 
  When I check perimeter bolts/screws if I find stripped ones I remove them, singly, use old broken hammer shanks split in half that I've saved for that purpose with a little titebond in the hole then I replace the bolt or screw.
