If you have to, prep the plywood by boring a transverse hole, blind if
you want one side to show, and cement in a chunk of dowel.

Threaded insert, maybe.

There are metal 'cylinder nuts' that will go in a bored hole and hold
a transverse machine screw. Is that what you're thinking of?

The cylinder nut solution is sometimes used in bedframes.


Google "threaded insert" and that's what I'm talking about.

I believe what you described is called a dowel nut.
