<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>Brian, you'll get a lot of answers to your
question, but I'll put my entry in here. Unwind the copper from a heavy
bass string, keeping the coils close together resembling a spring. Cut to
length, and place them down in the hole all the way. Use as many as
necessary, 2 or 3 should do it. (You ARE going into wood?) Put the
screw back in and tighten 'er up. It acts like a Heli-coil in metal
and will really hold if done properly. I have reattached grand legs with
stripped holes this way. </FONT></DIV>
