Prepare and Position the Screw

What happens here

Begin by selecting the appropriate wood screw for your application, considering length and thread type. Position the tip of the wood screw at the desired location on the wooden beam where you intend to make the connection. If you are not using a self-tapping screw or are working with particularly dense or hardwood, it is advisable to pre-drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw's diameter to prevent the wood from splitting and to ease the driving process. Gently push the screw into the wood to start it, ensuring it stands perpendicular to the surface of the wood. This initial placement is crucial for a straight and secure drive.

Goal: Insert the screw into the wood to initiate driving
