TO HOLD CARRIAGE BOLTS
Carriage bolts that have worn loose in the wood are not easy to tighten. Sheet metal lock-washers of the type shown will hold the bolt stationary while the nut is being tightened. A pyramidal point should be ground on the end of the punch so that a square hole can be punched in the centre of the washer. Where there is plenty of space, a piece of sheet steel can be used with the corners turned down to grip the wood.
