Join me, Jordan Wilson, at www.CasterHQ.com as I show you how to turn a basic wooden chair into a mobile piece of art! In this tutorial, I’ll take you step-by-step through the process of adding smooth-rolling spherical ball casters to your furniture. We’ll start by drilling perfectly centered holes in each chair leg to ensure our casters sit just right. Then, I’ll guide you on how to securely fit threaded tee nuts that anchor our stunning antique brass-finished casters.
Watch as I demonstrate how to screw in the stems smoothly, transforming any ordinary table or chair into a functional, mobile unit in no time. This video is packed with practical tips that will help you enhance your furniture, whether you're sprucing up your home office or updating your dining set. Let’s get rolling!

When threaded T-nuts with prongs come loose or fall off after installing them in furniture like chair legs, there are a few solutions and precautions to take into consideration: ⚫Add Adhesive: For added security, apply a strong wood adhesive or epoxy in the hole before inserting the T-nut. This helps to lock the T-nut in place within the wood. ⚫Use a Screw: Hammer the T-nut into place and then secure it with a small hinge screw in the center of the cross shape to prevent it from backing out or rotating. 🔴We did not use these methods in the video but highly recommend both to ensure the t-nuts stay in place and that you are a happy customer.

There are a couple of issues here, the most important one bing that the casters put a lot of torque on the endgrain of a quite thin piece of wood. Granted, the total weight of the person sitting is distributed over all four of them but still, in time the legs may split. Also i wonder why you were using a masonry bit to drill wood. 😊

These drill bits were the only ones I had to use at the time of the video 😂 🤦 When threaded T-nuts with prongs come loose or fall off after installing them in furniture like chair legs, there are a few solutions and precautions to take into consideration: ⚫Add Adhesive: For added security, apply a strong wood adhesive or epoxy in the hole before inserting the T-nut.
