This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Generally screw length is measured by how deep it will go into the material. For instance a countersunk screw would be measured from the top of the head to the end of the screw. A pan head screw would be measured from the bottom of the head to the end of the screw.
