Steel screw before brass?
Mike Korsak’s article, How to Drive a Screw, was right on the money! While this may be considered basic by some woodworkers, bridging or “jacking” happens all too often. Screw threads will bite into both pieces if a clear hole is not made and the parts will not be drawn together. Here at the Wood Technology Center, this is considered so important that all first-quarter students must complete a “Clear Hole” project for submission.
With the advent of high-torque impact drivers, most incoming students don’t see the need to drill any kind of pilot hole. And while my cabinetmaking and boatbuilding students get the concept of a pilot hole pretty quickly, the carpenters who work mostly in softwoods tend to think it’s overkill; that is, until their Interior and Exterior Finish Quarter where hardwood trim comes into play!

Everett Garver-Daniels, 7, helps his mother, Tessa Garver-Daniels, collect the necessary donated materials to participate in the Sprout into Spring event sponsored by the Our Town downtown decorating committee.
ELKINS Progress is being made on the decorations for Sprout into Spring, a new event being organized by by the same Our Town, Inc. volunteers who brought the scarecrow event and the gnomes to downtown Elkins in 2020.
The project will decorate Elkins with wooden flowers that can be painted and decorated by each participant in order to welcome spring to the community.
Art instructor Tessa Garver-Daniels will be taking the large cut-out flowers and stems to her classes at Elkins Middle School and Davis & Elkins College to have students design and paint them for the display throughout downtown Elkins.
