The humble wood screw…
You’ve seen them—the ones in those plastic hanging packs at the hardware store.
I’ve used them before… with mixed results.
In the latest Fabricator’s Field Guide, I break down why they fall short—and what screw I trust instead!
Cheers!

The REAL question is:
Will AI be used to replace meetings?
That would need management approval… View quoted note →
GM!
Prove me wrong…
Meetings are the biggest waste of time…
But, management doesn’t agree…

Woodworking is 10% tools, 90% skill.
Invest more time in learning techniques than buying fancy equipment.

GM!
The natural state of mankind is creativity…
“Well that’s easy for you to say…
I’m not an artist!”
If that is your response…
Maybe your definition of creativity needs revision.
Creativity encompasses many things: family, food, work, stories, friendships, etc.
More broadly… Life!
Be creative… it’s what you were designed to be.
Cheers!

Well, in the spotlight today is the forstner drill bit.
It cuts a clean nice hole with a flat bottom.
Cheers!
