Sex bolts, chicago screws, barrel bolts and binding post screw sets...
Yes, these are apparently all the same thing, or at least the same in concept. I have trawled long and hard through the internet trying to find an Australian supplier (online or physical store in Sydney area) and cannot find anything other than chicago screws for arts and craft etc.
This is precisely what i'm after:
Products | Fastenal
More specifically, stainless steel versions with no drive mechanism on the barrel bolt/cap, i.e., the sex bolts.
I am now hoping to enlist a few of you to (hopefully) find in minutes what has taken me hours to get no where. :doh:
I want something that attaches two parallel lengths of timber and allows for a clockwise/anticlockwise rotation movement in relation to the other.
Think the hands of a clock, but its not for a clock. In fact, its for one of these:
Cariboo Gentle Motions Bassinet / Cradle Reviews Australia www.scichild.com
This would be perfect:
Roto Hinges - Rockler Woodworking Tools
but i don't want to use these for construction reasons and also don't want to do overseas shipping.
Any other suggestions for bolt systems that might allow for smooth movement, while still providing overall structural strength and being easy on the eyes?
All help very much appreciated :2tsup:
