What thread and size screw to use
I am building a small trunk for a military friend to put some belongings in. I have made legs out of ash hardwood and will make the sides out of 1/2” or 3/4” Baltic birch plywood. The legs are 1.5” thick by 2” wide. So since I’m drilling pockets in the plywood should I use coarse or fine thread going in the ash hardwood? And since I have thicker leg go with longer screw or stick with what is recommended for the plywood thickness I go with. Thanks for your help in advance, MikeSee More

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
