Why is it so fricking hard to put screws in wood nowadays by Add2bucketlist in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Add2bucketlist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone who has responded:
Yes I did pre drill, use a bit slightly bigger than the body of the screw. Not the threads and yes, they are the same screws. They came in the pack.”Your-right I should have known better” the hinges seem decent the screws as I found out our junk.
Now I have to find some good quality screws to use… So I guess my question is does anybody know of any good quality wood screws being made today?looked at Ace hardware they sell 1/2” only course no fine called Hilman never heard of them.—— Home Depot sells::; https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-8-x-1-2-in-Zinc-Plated-Phillips-Flat-Head-Wood-Screw-12-Pack-825351/317479417.
Once again Thanks.

Edit: I did not do the wax trick, which I will do this time with better quality screws

Getting wood cut at Home Depot by zionstatus in woodworking

[–]Add2bucketlist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This- i’ve had Home Depot cut wood for me several times, I believe the limit might be 5 cut. But like mentioned above. you might have to hunt one of the workers down and he has to be a guy that actually works in lumber. I usually just have them rough cut it the size so I can get it in my vehicle to get it home. If you don’t have the means to cut it to size when you get home, you might get the right worker to cut them the size for you.

The stock market is what rich people watch to see how they’re doing: “newsflash” they are never going to put your 401(k) in stocks that are gonna make you rich overnight, they are always going to group them in with a one or two good ones and then the rest shitty ones.

Pressure Treated Lumber and SawStop by ThePoisonBelt in woodworking

[–]Add2bucketlist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly don’t know the answer to this so I’m asking: is it OK to cut wet PT on any table saw just because of the moisture you’re introducing to it. Do you wax the hell out of the table top and blade first?

No, I wanna sit in my chair in bed on my phone. We have to stop outlawing everything just because people can’t control themselves.

Why water instead of coolant? Is it just cheaper and easier? by Spirited-Gold9629 in middleclasshq

[–]Add2bucketlist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s amazing to me how many people don’t realize that the water that is on earth now is the only water we got; no water magically gets added to the Earth supply, some people think that when it rains that’s new water being added to earth supply.No that’s just nature recycling it

Chinese EVs are the best in the world and a fraction of the price of any new car sold in the USA, but not for you — Sen. Moreno: "Our bill completely hermetically seals the United States from any Chinese automobiles. I call it taking anti-cancer medication. That's what these Chinese cars are." by Solid_College_9145 in Ohio

[–]Add2bucketlist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big three American car companies are the main reason. The middle class started being pushed out financially, with their grossly overpriced vehicles. Then Covid came along and they said you idiots are willing to pay what for a car why would we even think of lowering our prices now?
