Next is to inset the base of the post support in the block, and that will be bolted to only the block. If I need to take the post down for whatever temporary reason, that is where I do it.

I was going to use M8 bolts for that, but the bracket holes are M10, so I might upsize. M10 x 30mm.

The six holes that hold the giant tenon are also M10. This post won’t be going anywhere.

Not a lot of people consider this, but an M10 has almost the double strength of an M8, since it is function of the square of the diameter.

Crazy how 2mm can make such a difference.

It is based on the square root of 2 (~1.4142), so the double of a 10 mm circle is a 14 mm circle, not a 20 mm one.

Plato explained this in the Meno dialogue, in 385 BC… and someone still insist that to study philosophy is useless
