    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.

    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.

    That was great ! I really appreciate your time and advice ! I’m not a novice just lazy to some of the finer points of woodworking … ‘close enough is good enough’ 🙄 But now that I’m retired and attempting to complete various projects, I would like the finish project to look more presentable. And your video has gone a long way in helping me raise my standards 👍

    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!

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.
