Pine table - thread gone on one of the legs

[claudeballs]

As it says in the title, the thread has gone on one of my table legs (it doesn't screw in anymore) - is there anything I can do to rectify this?

Thanks in advance.

You legs are threaded?

Something like a new one of these work?

i suspect that may be exactly what he is having problems with hitch

assuming there are 2 per bracket and its only one thats loose
doing it properly drill out with a 12mm drill wittle down a bit off wood to be a good fit and sticking out about 5mm glue in assuming its at the corner off a leg cut a flat face drill out a pilot hole the size off the shank inside the thread [probably a5mm for a 8mm ]being carefull not to come out the other side and being carefull to go exactly diagonal

then remove the excess plug to leave the corner plush

to screw the dowel in you will need 2 nuts "locked" on the end
to "lock"on twist on 2 nuts just on the threaded end take 2 spaners and tighten them against each other then wind in using the outer nut

you could always fill the hole with wood glue push in 4 matchsticks and wind in the bolt making shure the matches stay equaly spaced around the edge and when that fails

clear as mud eeehh
