Default Re: Timber bolts

Consider buying the shorter bolts, cut off the heads leaving an inch of the bolt on the head. Then cut the hex head off a standard bolt and weld the two together to make the correct length. Grind smooth and coat the welded area with zinc. Seems easier to me than trying to forge a new head.
