Does anyone know where I can purchase a fastener system that I've seen in
supply catalogs: It's a two-piece system, a threaded metal inset that can
be screwed into a hole in the materail to make an attachment to, with a
threaded central hole that accepts a wood screw. It's a type of system used
in furniture that is intended to disassemble and reassemble often. Does
anyone know what it's called (so I can cut to the chase and find it on the
Net!)?

Just type in threaded inserts in the search box and you will see a vast
array of them. I checked and they do have some in stainless.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.
Yessss...McMaster Carr. I don't know why I hadn't thought of that.
Thanks for the tip.

Yes, "threaded inserts," that's what I'm thinking of, in stainless steel,
though, preferably.
Thanks to everyone.

Go to
www.mcfeelys.com
they have stainless steel threaded inserts in 8-32,
10-24 and 1/4-20 according to their paper catalog.
They should also have them on-line.

Here's a source that I discovered, but I kinda suspect that their product is
hard to find. Surely there's other manufacturers.

Actually, for what I'm planning, a "rivet nut" (come to find out) would be a
better solution (no need to tap a hole).
