Basic Instruction
Washers come in a variety of sizes. If you're shopping for a specific project, be sure your measurements are correct.
Once you have your flat washers, you going to need to know how to use them. For new craftspeople, here's the basics:
* Drill a hole in whatever surface you're threading the bolt through.
* Slide the washer onto the bolt up to the nut. If the surface you've drilled through is especially soft, use two washers to keep the nut from damaging the material. A washer's other main purpose is to provide a nut a wider surface to exert pressure.
* Slide the bolt through the hole and tighten the nut. If it's a through-hole, place another washer and a nut on the opposite end.
As you gain most skill and experience, you'll realize how often you use flat washers. They're common with all mechanical repair and engineering and all successful craftspeople keep a supply handy.
