Thanks very much for any information.


from a piece of flat iron, though.

Ah...a one-tailed one, but would likely work, yes.

Looks like the connectors for the joints in laminate countertops.

I know this is a bit different but how about -

a blacksmith, your best bet might be (1) find matching-diameter rod stock or pipe, drilling/tapping/hacksawing, or (2) using a regular nut and a really thick square chunk of steel as a washer.

Alternative 2 will crush some of the wood fiber,but you could combine the two, first lining the hole with a tube, then piercing the tube and fitting a loose nut inside the tube.

Bed bolts are available, of course, but that's most useful for a new design, won't necessarily fit your existing frame. See, for instance,

in half and to the proper length, and brazing a nut over a drilled hole?
