Thus we\u2019ve developed a number of different methods of artifact attachment over the years. My favorite features tiny brads or small brass finishing nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>First, we clip off the heads and pre-drill tiny holes to the correct depth in the wooden artifact to accept those ends. Only slight tapping with a small hammer is required. Then we place the item on the bulkhead exactly where we want it, and gently press to mark where to again pre-drill. Done right, these items 1) easily pull off the bulkhead, 2) never fall off, and 3) are easily mounted or remounted, perhaps with a dab of white glue on the brads. The tiny microholes in the bulkheads can ultimately be varnished over to become nearly invisible. We also use string and thread in creative ways, along with double-sided tape and clear silicone sealant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve never found anything worth displaying that we couldn\u2019t artfully attach \u2014 even our famous (and much-admired) Tongan war club.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cap&#8217;n Fatty weighs in the best way to attach objects to your bulkheads below deck to brighten up your interior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23804,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"BS_author_type":"BS_author_is_guest","BS_guest_author_name":"Cap'n Fatty Goodlander","BS_guest_author_url":"","hydra_display_date":"20170206","hydra_display_updated":false,"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"164","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Cap'n Fatty weighs in the best way to attach objects to your bulkheads below deck to brighten up your interior.","_yoast_wpseo_title":"Quick Tip: Attachment Technique %%sep%% %%sitename%%","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","arc_story_id":"2I5P4SJBHKMIFOSJZDPN6ZZQW4","arc_website_url":"quick-tip-attachment-technique\/","custom_permalink":"quick-tip-attachment-technique\/","arc_subtype":"right-sidebar","arc_exclude_from_feeds":false,"sponsored":false,"sponsored_label":"Sponsored Content","sponsored_display_label":false,"sponsored_image":0,"post_right_rail":true,"post_right_rail_ad_1":true,"post_right_rail_ad_2":true,"post_right_rail_ad_3":false,"post_right_rail_ad_4":false,"post_right_rail_recirc":true,"fixed_anchor_ad":true,"post_top_ad":true,"post_off_ramp":true,"post_taboola":false,"labels":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[164],"tags":[483,198,1079,183,202,506],"acf":[],"apple_news_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42725"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
