Take another piece of half inch plywood the same size as the camera bottom
and drill a hole large enough for the 1/4-20 nut to fill it. Nail or screw
the new piece of plywood to the camera bottom then epoxy the nut in the hole.
The result should be more than sufficient for your camera.

I use conneciton nuts for threaded rod. They _won't_ be flush with the
bottom - but they are very reliable.
A connection nut is a long nut that allows one to thread a screw into each
end of the net. Tripods use a 1/4 20 thread. I usually screw one to the
bottom of a camera.

I have not had problems with T-NUTS, you install them from the inside of the

I have made a couple of pinhole cameras but cannot come up with a method for
embedding a 1/4 20
nut in the base for a tripod socket. Both cameras are made of 1/2 inch
plywood. I would like
for the embedded nut to be flush with the bottom.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated,
