I can talk tot he screw question -
The best screws are made by a company called SPAX - I use the #12 1 1/4" and find them to be excellent! YOu can get them from Highland HArdware in Atlanta and at some Home Depot stores Ray "James D.

Clamps - For gluing blanks, use wooden handscrews in the larger sizes.
Glue - For general woodworking and gluing items that will not be exposed to moisture, I prefer original Titebond. Elmers is probably just as good, but I prefer the viscosity of Titebond original. Titebond II & III offer increasing degrees of water resistance. Barry "James D. Farrow" wrote in message ... Clamps - What are the best type of clamps for glueing wood together?

Thanks!
Will go with Titebond II Glue. Found some of those Wooden Handscrew Clamps. But they only have the 8" ones. Will look for more. And will look for those SPAX screws. James "James D.
