Stop Fighting Woodscrews
One of the most frustrating obstacles you can run into while buiding a wood project is a stubborn woodscrew that won't go where you want it to go. Even if you can manage to muscle the fastener in, chances are this will ruin the head of the screw, or worse, ruin the board you're working on.
In this section from my How to Build Anything series, I'll explore the most common problems you'll run into when driving nails, screws, or other fasteners—along with my favorite solutions for avoiding these problems entirely.
I've also included several shop charts that help you choose the right size fastener and drill bit —to match a particular size board. This alone eliminates most fastener problems.
