I tried to make that a real point in many of the snapshots : )

If the hole is just a bit over size a bit up glue will hold it in place.

Note**** you can buy tee-nuts without the sharp point but they are 5 times the price the norm, a set of side cutters (wire cutters) will do the job just fine, there will be just a small tip on the tee-nut this will hold the nut from turning in the hole, I cut them on a small angle to a sharp point so to speak but only 1/16" long max.

Bob,

I was just wondering...
Could any of the following be used instead of a tee-nut?

Threaded Insert...
http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=362&sid=AFF17

Hex Head drive threaded insert...
http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=364&sid=AFF17

Wouldn't it make it easier to not have to be concerned with the edges?

Are these the tee-nuts you are using?
http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=1592&sid=AFF17
Those look like pretty long spikes to cut off!!

Yes, they sure DO cost more!!

Hi Joe

1. NO
2. NO
3. Yes, BUT at 25.oo per.100 bit high in price, you can get them for about $8.00 per.100 at most fasterns supply outlets/ONLINE also ,it's worth the trip, or HD/Lowers/Ace..they are also are a bit high because they sale most of the items by the each and you will pay for the plastic packing or price mark on ea. fastern.

BeCause
1. they will split the hardwood knob,they also lift the wood up,not a clean job, plus they like to back out..
2. same as number #1
Plus you must buy a tool to put them in or make one.
A bolt with 2 jam nuts will put them in BUT...

Inserts
I SHOULD NOTE I have them in 1/4-20 ,5/16-18,3/8-16, in brass and steel and do use them time to time and made my own tool to install them with but they are not my favorites... ,,,,I call them plywood fasterns or blind hole fastern .

Bob,

I'm sure glad I asked!!

I have some of those other goodies... guess I won't use them... at least for HARD clamping use...

I had no idea that HD & L sold them!! I know if I went there and asked if they any tee-nuts, I'd get that 'blank' stare...

Hardware dept... and look, LOOK, and L O O K!! That's why I hate to go there.

Thank you again for your help...

Hey BJ, thanks very much, I look forward to creating my own little 'wheelies'. Very useful and informative. I also had the question of why remove the sharp bits, but you've done very well once again in your logics and explanations.

Thank you,

KarateEd......:-)

Thanks Ed and you'er welcome

They are Fun to make, I do it when I don't want to do anything else or start a new project
If I'm not making " 'wheelies' " I'm making door handles ( pull type for drawers and doors,boxes,etc.) they also are fun to make on the router table, out of scrap hardwood the norm, I just put them in a pastic bag /plastic jar and put them under the bench so have some when I need them .

Well BJ..... I've been so busy making more jigs that I haven't had a chance to work on the storage solution yet, but I'm going to have to come up with something soon.
