Gold crown 1 assembly question

[Hinekanman]

So I didn’t receive anything to attach the legs. I hear it’s a screw. With some holes being not perfect, is there anything I can do?

I'm not a mechanic, but could some kind of threaded insert work (if they are stout enough to handle the thread size and load)?

Drill hole, glue in dowel rod, drill pilot hole and screw on foot.

I would buy replacement feet w/ t nuts and make them work properly! just my $0.02

I like this idea, but it can be a bit costly.. On the other hand, if you can find someone to machine the components, it's not horrible.

I made these a few years back:

You can also drill and tap the feet, and buy some 3/4-16 threaded rod and jam nuts. It's still not all that cheap, but it is cheaper than buying a replacement set.

Alternatively, you can drill and tap the current feet, and use a smaller thread, with a more common size T-nut. However, it won't have the strength of the 3/4".

I might recommend:
1/2" T-Nut
1/2-13 x 3" Threaded Rod
1/2-13 Black Oxide Nuts

The aftermarket ones are pretty cheap my cost! I admire your ability to MAKE stuff!

I love their pockets. Haven't tried the levelers.
