It just happened again. I was screwing a post to a base on weathervane cupola I am building and the screw (8 X 1-1/2) snapped. I tried to take another screw out and the head stripped like it was made out of butter..and these were predrilled holes and I lubricated the screws with wax and the wood is pine!! Seems the screws I buy these days are just soft metal crap whether I go to HD or to the local hardware store. Where do you guys buy screws? Is there a decent supplier out there. McFeeley's?
