Does anyone have any woodworking ninja level 11 secret they can
pass on to do this?


I don't know the diameter of the hole that will be bored into
the 2-by-2, and I don't know it's end purpose, but I would "test
it's strength" before putting it in a mission critical
application--even if it will be a table leg.
