This video shows you how I'm fabricating fasteners out of threaded rod and flange nuts with my Lincoln Electric 210MP welder. I decided on this path out of necessity since I was unwilling to spend $270 on bolts (I found 10 bolts for $90). See, I'm building a bed for our son and my plans call for 11-inch bolts. They will be counter-bored into cross members that are 12 inches tall and threaded into T-Nuts, which will also be counter-bored from the bottom.
I visited my favorite metal supply shop in our area, which is Fazzio Steel. There I was able to pick up 5/16-18 threaded rods, flange nuts, T-Nuts, and washers. I also purchased a used chop saw that I was able to use to cut down the threaded rod. Altogether, it was still cheaper than $270 and I got a new tool that will help in future projects.
