how to screw into very hard wood?

Post by 308gun »

Ever try and get a screw into a very hard wood, even old dry wood, first trick is to put some soft soap on the screw with finger, and second trick is to drill a very thin starter hole, I use only hand tools , most times , not the power drill, after finding most hardware now seems to be imports, and the heads of screws or bolts are too soft or not in true specs..and the power tool too strong , later we can not use power tools anyhow.and never forget get a good set of nail punch to set brads below surface and small dab of plaster on head before painting and you will never see after painting.
