    Faceplate screws pulling out

    Hi all, I am experimenting with the LDD(?) deal where you soak your rough turnings in Liquid detergent and I am really happy with the difference in cutting. Streamer shavings are flying all over like I am Lyle Jamieson. What I am having a problem with is the screws on my faceplate staying in...

    Brass screws

    Whenever I use brass screws, I like to thread a steel screw in first to cut the threads. Problem is, half the time I can't find the size I need. What I want is a a set of threaded screw pilots. Maybe with tee handles? Long enough so you could just screw it in as far as the screw length you were...

    Plug thickness to hide screws?

    I have a project where I am abutting two cabinets. They do not have face frames but are edged with 3/4" thick maple. There is a visible gap when abutting the cabinets.

    Silicon Bronze Wood Screws

    I am looking for a supplier of silicon bronze cut thread wood screws in the Triangle area. There are plenty of online sources; however since I only need a few of certain sizes for a boat project, I figure that I would look locally. Anyone know of any? Thanks much -G

    Broken screws ....

    I've put about 40 hours building a toddler bed the last three weeks. I was finally at the point where I was ready for the dry fit and started putting on the hardware. When I was putting on the bed rail kit, I had two brass screws break on me. :BangHead: They broke well beneath the wood line...

    Well, it's been awhile, but after a long vacation I'm ready to get back to it. As I was finishing up the Roubo bench I had quite alot of fun while mounting the front coffin vise. Here's the story... The idea is to attach the bench screw to the coffin vise: Well, my 1st attempt using #10 BORG...

    Where is best selection of bolts and screws

    I am looking for a specific metric screw. Must be wafer head or have extremely low head profile. The size is M6x1.0, either 40mm or 50mm. I can easily find these screws online but not with the wafer head. In a pinch I would even try a 1/4-26 screw, but again must be wafer head.

    Of screws and nails

    I have recently moved and one of the jobs I had to do at the old house was to refurbish the two decks. When I built them ~15 yrs ago I used almost all screws. Most were from McFeelys but some were borg bought. After removing a fair number of them the difference was startling. The borg screws...

    Wood screws

    I just started a new project I found in Woodsmith, a display cabinet. In this magazine they tell you the size woodscrew to use as you go along. Can we discuss wood screws and why they are the screw of choice in woodworking rather than a drywall screw? I headed to the friendly Ace Hardware to...

    Screws

    Working on my workbench and getting ready for the vises I need some strong number 12 wood screws. I have bought some from the BORG in the past and even with drilling pilot holes have broken them too easily in hard maple. Any suggestions locally or on the web? Specific types and part numbers...

    I have recently twisted a couple of screws I got at Lowes in two and would appreciate any thoughts anyone would care to share about who makes or sells the better screws. I have had a now dwindling supply of indestructible black wood screws I got from a furniture maker many years ago and, short...
