use Wayne’s method (found the original info on Bob’s site when it was up) with
one minor change: I found some machine screws with a large head at Home Depot. I
think they’re called “truss-head” screws. Yes they are slightly heavier (not
much I think it’s only about 1~2 grams) than a standard pan-head screw but I
like the idea of having more surface area in that area especially when attaching
to carbon-fiber gear legs. I use this method on all of my Pattern planes now.
Haven’t had a failure yet although my planes are by no means “overweight”.
