Works great! was -> Another woodworker question - threaded insert advice?

Pages: << < (4/4)

neuromancer:

I see you've already done it, so this is moot, but since you probably won't take it apart many times, I would have just screwed strips of wood down the joints on the inside.

You just have to use short screws and not put them in too far, or else they'll poke out the other side!

Since the cabinet in the photos appears to be plywood, holding power isn't an issue, but since the screws wouldn't stick very far into the wood, I'd probably use a large number of them. I'd probably also glue the strip to the side that seemed most likely to be stressed.

But it looks like the threaded inserts will do their job, and it looks neat and tidy!

And you are on you way to having a finished cabinet -- I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of it when it's done. One advantage you method has over mine is that if you ever do need to take it apart, it will pack up very compactly.
