In this video, I demonstrate installing soft wood inserts in the 1.5" square, 12" long legs cut out of a 2x4 in the last video. These legs are used in the construction of a bookcase shown in an earlier video. (here's the link to that video: • 155. Book storage expl... )
I think it goes without saying but I'm going to say it anyway; if you decide to try and do anything you see me do in this video (or in any of my videos for that matter), you and you alone are responsible for your own safety. Using power tools whether corded or battery powered can be very dangerous when used improperly. Be sure to follow all of the tool manufacture's safety instructions. Spending time in your workshop making stuff should be fun and rewarding so be SMART and be SAFE. Please and thank-you.
Prior to making this video, I had only used T-nuts; I had never tried to use inserts. Now that I have some experience using the inserts, I'm sure I will be using them a lot more in the future.
These inserts (and threaded rod) allow me to design and build projects which can be disassembled and then reassembled. Disassembly allows for storage in a smaller space and reassembly allows me to use the project again in the future (without having to build a whole new one).
Thanks for watching.
