Tool Specifics: The drill bits used in this video were the only ones available at the time. Make sure you use proper drill bits for wood, such as 'Brad point drill bits,' which demonstrate that you can achieve great results with basic tools.
Enhanced Security Tips: Although not demonstrated in the video, for added durability, consider applying a strong wood adhesive or epoxy before inserting the T-nut into the wood. Additionally, securing the T-nut with a small hinge screw in the center of its cross shape is highly recommended to prevent it from coming loose or rotating.
