Could I have done this with just my hand? Yeah probably. But where’s the fun in that?!

What happens here

This project demonstrates a hybrid technique for securely fastening wooden railing components. It involves first driving a screw most of the way with a drill, then gently tapping the screw head with a hammer to properly seat it, and finally completing the drive with the drill for a flush and tight finish. This method can help in achieving a clean look and preventing damage to the wood or screw.
