[Makerspace-keymembers] Sewing day thoughts?

[Dena Strong]

I'm failing my theater tech memory check here, because I can't remember the
name of the combination where you sink a metal something with threads into
wood in order for the screws to go in and out of the metal receptacle.
("Socket" searches are producing a bunch of wrenches.)

I'm going to be at Lowe's tonight and will take a look around in case I
happen to find what it is I'm thinking of, for a possible wood-saving
option?
