Baseboards Part 10

This afternoon I set about drilling the four legs and the left-hand baseboard frame, to take the Allen key bolts and captive nuts to secure the legs to the frame.

I first came across captive nuts when I made my climbing wall inside my house. They came with the climbing holds. Left-hand baseboard finished and in position, just the right-hand one to do the same.

Holes drilled and Allen key bolts in place on one leg

The Allen key bolts screw into captive nuts

This is a captive nut, the collar is threaded and the 4 prongs dig into the wood

All four legs attached to the baseboard

Completed baseboard and legs in position
