So after the last box swap several people asked if anyone had a better way for them little brass hing screws.
Well I am here today to tell ya the short cut to getting them in.
Step one find the right size drill bit and drill the whole. Drill the hole a bit deeper than the screw is long. I am for some where in 1.5 times deeper than long. This gives room for sawdust to push into the hole ahead of the screw.
Step 2 find the right size driver for the screw.
Step 3 wax the screw.
Step 4 drive the screw. If you don't have a light touch with a drill/drive than use a hand screw driver.
Now your all looking at this and saying that aint no short cut.
But it really is to not follow these steps means your going to be digging out a broken screw.
Now you can see the short cut Huh
