Hi, I am hoping that someone can point me towards decent woodworking screws. I wanted to screw some steel straps on the back of a LARGE (maybe 100" long by 9' tall) display case to hold the upper glass cabinets to the bottom case, just in case I ever have grandchildren. Anyway, I bought some 1 1/4" #8 screws at HD. Despite predrilling with a tapered bit to account for the shank, waxing the screws, and trying to be careful, I stripped out a few of the phillips head screws screwing into walnut. Not impressed with the toughness of the steel, to say the least. Seems like the were way tougher in my youth.
Any suggestions welcomed!
Thanks.
