4x4 post standoff

thingiverse

I'm building a 4"x4" lumber standoff or base to prevent rot from taking hold. Local hardware stores carry a brand of these, but they're pricey - $4.41 each. Since I need eight, I decided to save some cash. The holes were drilled at 4 mm, just snug enough for a #8 SS pan head screw, which gets the job done. So far, these standoffs have held up well under heavy use with my 200+ pound bench, which has been dragged repeatedly across my deck without any issues.
