Folks.....

    This is what I love about Orchid....... 

    I even sell these things (carriage bolts) to industry, and the
    thought never occurred to use them for that.... 

    BTW.....some of them come with grade markings or other letters
    stamped into the dome....so ya'd haveta take those off.... 

    The other thought I had was a 1"+ diameter length of shovel or broom
    handle, or maybe even a closet pole, sanded to have a dome....
