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.
For 3/4" ply, a 5/8" Forstner bit, some glue, and the dowel has the
right
woodgrain to hold a transverse screw.


Your reply was worth wading through tons of chaff to read - a great idea
that I will retain for future use!
Thanks!
