Standoffs to wood?

[Acksaw]

I have a few spares parts around, enough to make a mess around PC but I want to fit everything to a sheet of 1" plywood (Obviously graphics card will be secured with something attached to the plywood) but I can't think how to get the brass standoffs into the wood, I am useless at basic thinks as I try to think my way around it and do it some complicated way when there is an obvious and simplistic way of doing, so, I ask you, how do I screw brass standoffs for the motherboard into a piece of wood?!

bash em in with a hammer, remove and epoxy glue the hole, replace and wait an hour

made me a very simple test bed a few years ago at a shop i worked in.

Why dont ya just get a pile of the plastic stanrdoffs and glue them to the plywood?

I'd have to buy something then!

good point

Gonzo`s idea seems good.

epoxy glue should make them solid enough

Could make a smaller hole than the standoffs in the wood, then screw the standoffs in using a drill with adjustable chuck on (or your fingers) and the hole will be the right size and have been threaded

thats going to spin with the slightest bit of pressure due to wood being soft, at least glue would give it more to hold on to

Good point, I don't see why you'd need to remove the standoffs, Glue's probably the best option
