/diy/ I need some help.

I'm trying to take apart a super old bedframe. I have one side left to do. There's these screws in it that have a weird shaped thing at the other end. I don't know what they're called because I don't tend to work with this stuff. Do you know what pic related is called? Or how I can get them off so that I can take this pos apart and junk it for my new bed frame? I think you're supposed to be able to just screw them off with your fingers, but they're practically embedded in the wood and I can't get a grip on them.

if only there was some kind of device that could capture images and convert them to a digital format that you could then upload to this thread. SO WE COULD FIGURE OUT WTF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!

that's some kind of blind nut. they are usually supposed to stay in whatever they are embedded in.

specifically it may be a weld nut that someone used in wood.

Ah. Thank you. Ultimately, my roomie just woke up and I asked if he could lend me a hand and he got it out in like... Two minutes.

Thank you, I'm definitely going to remember the name of these in the future.
