You need to be much clearer if you want to be helped. What material should that cylinder be made of, for example? And it’s actually better if you tell us what you're planning to do.
Also, message a moderator and ask them to change the title.
The cylinder should be in some metal, any kind. 2cm in diameter, the length doesn't matter, I can cut it with the angle grinder.
I have built a sandbox with a lid for my son, and I made two holes in the lid that I use as locks. When the lid is opened, two bolts go through them which I then fasten with wing nuts.
So it's those two holes I want to tidy up, push one in from each side.
But there should be a rim/wash on the cylinder.
Really hard to explain, wrote late last night and was tired. Just wanted to get the thread started.
Can you take a picture of how it looks now and mark where you will have the cylinders? If I understood correctly, it's a lining for two holes you drilled in a wooden lid through which locking bolts go to lock the lid in a closed position? The two centimeters, is it the outer diameter or the inner diameter of the cylinder itself? How big should the other measurement be? How big should/should the collar be?
The bolts hold the lid in the open position (image 3) but it's when the lid is in the closed position (image 1) that I think it looks a bit dull.
I want to make it look more polished.
The cylinder's inner diameter should be 2cm-2.5 with a washer on top that I want to press into the hole for a nice finish. The washer's diameter doesn't really matter, but around 2-3mm.
Found a good image to show what I'm looking for, this is a rubber bushing. But it's this shape I want in metal.
Does anyone know if it has a name? Is it called a bushing?
I'll Google around a bit more, but I'd be grateful if someone knows what it's called, or if it even exists?
Leopardiz, now maybe you shouldn't build more sandboxes but...
A simpler construction would have been to put a handle, which locks the lid, at the top edge of the lid. The handle would be screwed into the plank. Then you would have avoided the small wing nuts that the children will soon pick off , and the holes in the lid. I've always called such a handle a varvel, but I can't find that word on Google.
By the way, the detail you're looking for is called a flange bushing in English.
Thank you so much KnockOnWood, it will be much easier now that I know what it's called. I googled flänsbussing and sure enough, several pictures of what I'm looking for popped up.
I don't think he can turn the wing nuts since I tighten them until they start to strain.
But maybe it would have been a bit smoother with a knob, yes
But now that I used bolts, I got to use my Mutterdragare anyway
Thank you so much everyone
Best regards, Pelle
