Inserting Screw in Walking Cane Shaft
Ok. I've got my little ratchet here. This is a socket that fits the end of this screw. And, we'll stick it down in this hole and start tightening it. Then, we'll put it down through the handle a little way until it's poking out the bottom. We're getting there. Ok. There, we see the screw coming out the bottom. Now, just for grins I'm going to go back to my drill and get down in this hole a little bit more. Alright Tighten this up. Sometimes, the wood will grab the drill. So, you have to make sure it's real tight in the chuck. That should be deep enough. Now, you've got your screw poking out the end. You're going to set it down, so the end of the screw goes right in that hole. And, we'll start cranking it down. And, we'll keep cranking it like that until it's flush down in the bottom there.
