| Timberlok Screws |
 |
| For these projects,
“TimberLok” screws provide a strong, easy-to-install joinery
solution. Their long shanks and deep threads draw thick parts tightly
together and prevent splitting, so no pilot or shank holes are needed.
Counterbores let you hide the screw heads below the wood’s surface
(Figure 2). When you drive a screw into soft cedar, the head can bury itself in the wood. To prevent that, I slipped a washer around the screw head before installing it. I also brushed epoxy into the counterbore as added insurance to keep the screw from loosening (Figure 1). |
