I need a decorative large (2") "wing nut" to allow the user to lock down a joint that can swivel. I've designed one with a brass core for strength and cherry "scales" like what is done for knives. I've attached a sketchup image of the design. (It shows only 1 scale attached.) I've milled one brass core and now need to experiment with the scales.
There are holes drilled through the brass core that I originally thought I'd use for Corby rivets but now I'm wondering if I need to use rivets. It seems to me that epoxy would fill the holes and act to lock the 2 sides scales together. Does this seem reasonable? Does epoxy actually work well for bonding brass to wood in the first place?
