Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rustygun" data-source="post: 3829820" data-attributes="member: 4711">The wooden wing nuts are the result of an over caffeinated imagination but I will try to describe it.  very simple idea was to take a 1/4” or 5/16” bolt of the right length, drill a hole through a little piece of wood scrap with a recess for the bolt head, insert the bolt (with a little glue) and cover the bolt head with a thin strip of wood as a “top” with a little wood glue. Trim the resulting thing to look sorta like a wing nut the right size to allow it to rotate without hitting the press frame. This home made mounting system is solidly mounted to the bench and is super easy to remove. This home made wing nut (wing bolt?) goes through the mounting board, through the table top and into a threaded insert (I think these are called tee nuts) that is installed into the underside of the table. When removed the table has 4 little holes but has a smooth top.  I hope this picture with one of the threaded inserts and the wing”bolt” helps.  [ATTACH]291301[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
