I bought a new sofa from a discount center the other day and I really loved it for my game room. It wasn’t super nice, or really large, but it was just right for occasional sitting. All was well with it and it was marked down from $500 to $50, so I was happy with the transaction until my drunk uncle came over and sat down on it too hard breaking the sofa leg off. When I went to repair it, the thread was all stripped, and I did not know what to do, so I went searching on YouTube for an answer to my dilemma. I was so excited when I found this awesome video tutorial by Dandlinc, on YouTube, that described exactly how to fix this thread loss inside of the wood.

Directions:
In this awesome video tutorial by Dandlinc, on YouTube, you will learn how to fix any screw hole using toothpicks and wood glue.
Then you will let the glue cure, then cut off the excess toothpick protrusion with a small saw. Then, you can screw the leg back onto your furniture.
