Fixing a Fooseball Person's Foot! - 12.22.2011, 10:35 PM



After an intense game with some buddies, I broke the foot of one the fooseball men clean off...

Anyways, super glue failed me the first time (Some HK CA, actually) after a good twenty solid hits, it snapped off again.

Dad told me I should try integrating a screw into there, but let me to figure it out..

Soo, here's what I got from that.

On one of the pieces, drill a decent hole (enough for a good bite, long enough that the screw won't fly out), forcefully screw a M4 size [Or.. I could figure out how to use a tap/die set... But that sounds like work!] so that there's threads forming (does this actually happen, or am I just thinking optimistically?). Do the same for the other piece, but with a different screw, but don't cut off the cap, once threads are formed, pull out [haha], and screw it onto the original piece I did it to...

Uhm, here's a picture for those that didn't follow..

Green being the screw.

From left to right, two screws are inserted into two different pieces, one gets pulled out, piece gets screwed onto original one, works.. Hopefully.


Anyone got any tips before I go kill a fooseball person tomorrow?
Or any better ideas... ?
