This may be an odd request. I have a woodworking project whose design would be greatly improved by the use of something like this.
Basically, imagine a rocking horse...with a handle that is nothing more than two halves glued into a recess to form what appears to be a continuous dowel or handle.
Now, the strength of this can be improved by threading a wood screw into one dowel and screwing it to the other...to effectively screw the two together.
Does anyone make anything like this? Im not looking for other ways to do it, just whether or not anyone knows or has seen a double threaded...say #8 screw. I guess one end would have to be reverse threaded.
Edit: lol...looks like what I need is a DOWEL SCREW....imagine that. Wonder if Home Depot has them?
