Sure :) If you plan to never need to raise or lower the pins - this gig sounds like an adjustable prefab job. Honestly, though, I was thinking esthetics and it would be easier for me and my tools to smooth it over and clean up the excess without that pesky pin in the way... being pulled on by gravity... in the same direction in which it failed. Ok, I'm without proper woodworking clamps :(
ROFL.
But the barbeque will still be functional so he can just camp in the RV :)
That conjures up all kinds of ugly stuff. I'd have my toothbrush locked up, make her eat the food first...
Hey, I like John's reply, though, also.
In article ,
I think I'd just go out and buy a pair of brown plastic shelf brackets. Lay the bookcase on it's side and hide the brackets in underneath the shelf.
If you grease the pins before you set it in the filler you may get away with fixing it in one move. not sure what I would use to do this though. Cooking spray? like PAM? then you could just push some JB into the hole and stick the shelf pin in. all done except for sanding off some excess.
Could work.

Vaseline[0]. It's the most tenacious greasy stuff I've ever encountered.
Good Luck! Rich [0] petroleum jelly.
Reminds me of the old line "Y'know, if they just got taller girls to start with those ballerinas wouldn't have to stand on their toes."
More careful examination showed shelf pins to be 5mm diameter x 8mm depth.
Trivial fix... drill out to 1/4" diameter x 1/2" depth (plywood is
3/4") and use 1/4" pin....Jim Thompson
Simple - drive some 4 inch nails through the sides. Easy as..... (and quick - who has time for home maintenance stuff when there is a world of interesting electronics stuff the check out....)

If you're going to do it that cheap, just have the maid ask one of her brothers if they know a guy - you'll get a professional job done at about 10% the price of a "real"[0] cabinetmaker. I've used itinerant laborers before, and they can be pretty impressive. And if you get two on it, they get really competitive trying to impress the world with how much better they are than their other brother/ cousin/compadre.
Good Luck! Rich [0] i.e., legal, licensed, bonded, unionized.... white...
