Default graphite electrodes in EDR - use?

OK, I got a couple of bars of solid graphite rems about 3/4" square by 10" long.
This stuff feels wimpy to me. I don't want to clamp on the leads from my battery
charger. I'm considering drilling and tapping the ends for 1/4-20 brass
allthread, and using 2 brass nuts up on the end. Then I'd crimp 1/4" lugs on the
ends of a couple of pieces of wire and attach those to my 2 electrodes, then
bolt the other ends together using another short piece of brass allthread and 2
nuts, then I'd catch the clamp from the battery charger to that. How do you guys
actually attach power to graphite electrodes?
