Balance board for sports training and general fun!

Step 5 Drilling and bolting

ok so by now you should have something resembling a balance board, here is where your lesser DIYer would say "what the hell, that'll do"... but were not like that, were the geek elite of DIYers, were instructibles members goddamnit! and we make our projects better, stronger and better looking!

for the next step grab your drill with a bit in it the same size as your bolt. now mark on 3 equally spaced targets like in the pics below and drill away. now countersink those holes a little bit (i couldnt find my countersink so i used a slightly larger drill bit :P) as we dont want and socks, carpet or feet getting snagged on the bolts.

now place your nuts (no rude jokes please, especially when you hear what your goin to do to the nuts) in the holes inderneath and as with most real life projects, if it doesnt fit... hit it with a hammer. screw in your bolts and with a hacksaw or dremel, cut off the excess bolt and if possible file down the metal to a smooth finish to avoid snaggs.
