    One of those doohickies you use to fasten panels together on a pre-fab desk, like from Sauder. You insert it in the hole and use a screwdriver to twist and lock it to the peg inserted on the edge of the other panel that sticks down into the hole.

    I guess building my fair share of that furniture over the years finally paid off! HA!

    I defer to whomever wants to go next...

    That thing is called a hidden cam. It means cam like a camshaft it a car, a funky radius circle that changes radius as it turns. And hidden because it is up inside the furniture

    I have it on good authority that China's new (first) aircraft carrier is being held together entirely by those hidden cam doohickies. I kid you not! Actual construction of the pre-assembled parts for the a/c (numbering over 330,959) took 1976 Chinese drydock workers only 22 days, armed with only phillips head screwdrivers for tools.

    I kid you not!
