>What is the best way to attach a stem to the bottom of a spun metal bowl to attach the bowl to a wooden base?

I've seen short bolts attached to the bottom of the metal cup, which threads into the wooden base/stem, but I'm not sure about the process of attaching it.

Thanks

George

>Hi George

Unless you want the bowl to be removable for some reason, why not just glue it on. The link below takes you to a useful website that provides info on gluing different materials to each other.

If you do want the ability to remove the bowl, you could cement a couple of toilet bolts - the kind that have a thin, flat, rectangular head - to the bowl. Another option is to have an autobody shop attach a couple of the studs they use for pulling door panels. My only concern would be that the brazing process would discolor your bowl permanently.

Cheers, Garrett
