Description from the creator

In this video I will show you how to avoid splitting wood with screws by first drilling a pilot hole. The reason that wood splits is because your are forcing the wood fibres apart. The pilot hole will allow the screw threads to cut into the walls of the hole avoiding splitting and giving the screw a stronger grip.
I was drilling the pilot holes using my DEWALT drill and fastening the screws using my DEWALT Driver.
Remember, if you want a clean look consider countersinking the screws using a countersink bit.
