Also, I get it's a restoration project, which are fun and wholesome, but Fuck push saws.
Pull saws are where it is at! Easier to keep on target, less work, and you can't crease the blade on a cut and ruin the whole fucking saw
Though, I've never seen a pull saw you can play with a bow
I think you're the only other fucker in this thread who may have used their hands before
How do you clamp a bolt head that's recessed?
Drilling a spinning bolt is Not Easy. Not impossible, bit there's better ways to go about things
No he fucking doesn't
Wood glue isn't going to hold on metal at all.
Anti-seize to stop spinning? What? No. Anti seize is shit you put on threads so that when you come back years later, they still move.
Long acting lubricant.
And drilling out a bolt that's already spinning isn't going to be a fun time
Super glue is super brittle. Will fail at the first bit of force
There's no glue or epoxy on earth I'm aware of that will hold on metal well enough to handle the force of unscrewing a bolt.
You might solder nuts to either side, that might hold and be reversible.
The suggestions of drilling it out also won't work well, if it's already spinning in place, it will spin faster.
I know you don't want to, but cutting a slot is your best bet. If you do it clean, it'll just look like a screw. You could replace with a rivet if you really need a non-screw look for the finish
Super glue is super fragile
man we are all gonna end up in Gain Ground
There's a 'free zone' in Belize that ahh.... It's like a pustulant blister of capitalism. It's gross. Feels gross. Everywhere that isn't actively selling shit is a literal garbage dump, and there's a ton of building carcasses with faded signs falling off of them. Looks like in its heyday it was at best a sleazy strip mall.
