Using a 11\/16” (or 5\/8\" will work in a pinch) spade or forstner bit, simply bore a shallow hole in the rail or apron of your project, so the fastener top sits flush with the top of rail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Attach the fastener with a #6 screw into the apron, then secure the wooden top surface with another #6 screw. Simple chisel work near the shallow boring may be necessary to ensure a proper bedding and free lateral movement of the fastener.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fasteners are countersunk on opposite sides to keep screw heads flush.
