[TheForge] Decorative heads

[Larry and Pat Brown]

You could drill and tap the back of the heads and use them for nuts, or 
leave the studs longer and thread the heads on as a double nut drilling one 
hole for the nut size and one hole for the tap size in further. Use a 
bottoming tap to get as deep a thread as possible
