Nice design. When attaching with lag bolts, do you pilot drill 50% of bolt diameter the receiving timber to give space for the bolt or is bolt forcing itself blind into receiving timber?
@@JohnColgan. Thank you! I'm forcing the bolts through with an impact. I'll usually hammer the bolts in a quarter inch so the logs won't move around on me then impact it down.
