Fastening the Coffee Can

[miwasherfan]

Hello everyone....great forum.

I'm trying to whip up a set for this weekend because it is finally warm in Michigan and we have a family gathering this weekend. I like the version that uses a coffee can but have a question for the group. Any thoughts on how to get the can affixed to the plywood base?

Thanks for your help.

My father-in-law uses a bolt in the center of the can. If the plywood bottom is thick enough, you can sink the bolt enough to be flush with the wood bottom. I personally would have used 4 bolts in a square formation vice one in the center. This would make the can sturdier.
