Ok I am in the process of finishing up my crib. This link takes you to the enlarge plans

If you look at page 8 out of 14, I made the side panels with slats instead of the plywood. What I forgot to do was drill the holes up through the bottom for the cross dowels. I was able tonight to get the cross dowel holes in the P/I subassembly, but I did not leave enough room to be able to get the hole in the S/K/Z subassembly.
So I will have 4 cross dowels/bolts in the lower section but no way to use the 1/4 20 bolts for the top piece. So what I was thinking about doing was putting a thread insert in the 9/32" hole. I would have to enlarge this hole to 3/8".
Alright to my question, do you think that this will be sturdy enough for a crib? I really don't know what else I am going to do, if the threaded insert won't work.
Thanks
