Leg Plate Screw Anchors

[Paul]

Patrick, Terry
Threaded inserts would be almost the same as threading a heavy lag screw
into hardwood. Something you might try on a scrap of maple or oak is to make
a "tap" out of a lag screw  by grinding a notch in the tip just like the
notch in self drilling wood screws. Cut your threads into the wood first,
then insert your leg fastener. Works well!
