I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS A GOOD FASTENING SYSTEM FOR CHICAGO BAR RAIL TO A 3/4″ PLYWOOD TOP. THIS RAIL IS 1 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ AND ONLY HAS A RABBIT AT THE TOP ABOUT 3/4″ X 3/4″. TO KEEP IT STABLE I AM GOING TO PUT A 1/4″ PLYWOOD RIP AT THE BOTTOM TO THE BAR FACE. THERE DOSEN’T SEEM TO BE ENOUGH MEAT TO SCREW INTO AT THE TOP RABBIT. I’M OPEN FOR SUGGESTIONS.
