This is to make my armchair easily movable. I aim to attach the pram
wheels (two at the back) when I need to move the chair. At present I
lift the chair and carry it. It weighs a fair bit. It's an IKEA
squarish pine chair anno 1980-ish with removable cushions. I don't
want castors, as they leave indentations. So I want to drill a hole
through each "leg" at the rear (approximately 10cm wide) and mount the
pram wheels on demand using 130cm 8mm bolts.

Interesting! As the wheels are only temporary, can't you make a couple of
wooden dollys with some castors on the bottom and just use those each
time? They won't sit in any one spot for any length of time, so getting
around the 'indentation' issue.

Yep, I thought of exactly the same thing. But then I thought, well, by
the time I have sourced the wood for the dollies, if I don't happen to
have anything among my offcuts, then bought the castors (I already
have the pram wheels), and so on, it would be lot easier just to drill
two holes, job done! It's something I've been meaning to do for
months, but I am now finally getting around to it. I bought the bolts
yesterday.
