    You should always drill a pilot hole regardless of wood. Minute cracks expand with time, moisture, weather, mold, etc. Why have one? No cracks.
    Excellent video. No BS intro, no music, to the point, great visuals, what joy! Very useful info. I have these but forgot how to use them. Thank you for a great demo! Subscribed.

    Glad to see someone who takes the time to instruct viewers on the basics. Love seeing redo projects, building projects, but seeing things like how to countersink screws is something us novices need to know. Great job. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.

    Ny dad bought me a set of these. Ryobi brand cause that's all they had. I told him every time I build something out of wood, it splits on me all the time.
    Thank you so much for the well detailed video! I have confidence that these bits will help me immensely.

    It has countersink bits in it. I never touched them. I didn't know what they were for. I didn't even know what they were called. Now I know.

    Thanks for the video, I've been doing different construction projects with my dad for ages, but I never really learned finer techniques to improve my skills. I decided to restore an old machete my father's had for years as a gift. Sanded it, and the handle was dry rotted so I'll be making a new one using this to keep the bolts hidden.

    This was really cool! Love the alternative ways added too. Took me awhile to remember the word countersinking. Curious if a Forstner bit could also work for countersinking? Picked up a set for 1 project years ago and haven't used it since, makes me wonder if I could have saved the $10 on the countersink set.

    There is much more to counter sinking. There are better bits to use, and also ways to avoid tear out. Keep looking at other videos. I'm not in a position to make a channel yet but one day I will. This video would be considered, very basic and not advanced. It is much appreciated though. I will give one tip though. Clamp your work down and make several tests on scrap the same you are using for your nice project. Repeat and practice 3 or 4 times befor drilling into the real thing. Some bits will really bore in fast and you'll drill to China. Do t forget to set your cluch while doing your tests and consider using a hand screwdriver for the final screwing. You won't regret it!

    There is another bit called a countersink bit . It’s just a short bit that drills just the counter part of the hole … you didn’t show that . I want to get a set but now I
    Don’t know if I should get the ones that have the drill included or just the short bits that only cut out the sunken part . Should I get both ? Seems like the ones with the drill attached will save time ?
