Use a 1" butterfly bit put a hole on both sides that you are bracing then insert a precut length of 1" hardwood dowel. Threaded rod is great for a burp box but believe it ir not in a daily enclosure the metal rod has a resonant frequency (length dependant) and can cause an audible ringing. Polo..

Oh BTW coat the ends of the dowel with epoxy the insert add more epoxy after that has cured to the edges and back side, works great and looks cool...Polo..
