The Outdoor Workshop

Working with the lathe on a beautiful sunny day.
 Is it possible to have an outdoor workshop when you live in an apartment?

Grip Rite #305 Stainless Steel Exterior Screws Review

I'm building a workbench out of redwood 2x4's to keep outdoors. So I bought some stainless steel screws to put it together.

The included bit is a #2 square drive. But the screws aren't a snug fit for a #2 bit. I had my own #2 bit that I've used with other screws no problem, but it also is too small for these screws.

After rounding off both bits, I'm done with these useless screws.


I'll contact the manufacturer... Perhaps it's simply a bad batch.
