i think you had an example that was a flat head? (flat on top w/ a cone
into the threading area that would be sort of 'countersunk'). offhand
(since you said they were in storage) do you know the pitch or diameter?
just thinking that too 'thin' is slightly less good for attaching to
the floor but ok for panel joins.

anyway, this reminded me of something that occurred to me on my way home
last night but that i somehow forgot during the four block trip.  are
people thinking that the 'walls' are going to be 'real'? (ie, something
like 4" w/ maybe some sort of sound insulation). less reconfigurable but
i'm not sure i've ever been in 83c when someone's been using the shop
(i've used it but didn't notice how much i was disturbing people on the
outside :-)
