Step 2Spike it.
In this step, we will take our bolts and sharpen them up. I used a bench grinder on mine.
What you want here, is to take your straight, 1/4-20 bolts, and grind the heads off of them. Then take the headless bolts, and sharpen them up to a fine point. Sharpen the side you just ground the head off of.
Be very careful not to damage the threads, and quench the bolt often.
Wear safety glasses, and be careful not to stab yourself. Also, bench grinders can and do throw things. Be very careful not to push the bolt into the grinder too hard, or relax your grip. I have seen bolts thrown through ceiling tiles.
