what is a pilot hole and how do i select a drill bit. alternately, how do i find wood screws at the hardware store
-

I think the pilot hole was too small. Or am I still doing it wrong
-
Oh god I figured out what I was doing wrong and this is the most embarrassing thing
-
I managed to drill the pilot holes without incident
-
Then while I was switching out for a screw head i guess I accidentally set the drill to go backwards
-
So I was unscrewing the screw and going "are my pilot holes too small?????"

Anyways I did it, I did it, I proved I can live without a man as long as I have access to 100 explaining men on Twitterpic.twitter.com/uZ1DwEiTVL

Oh,and those don’t look like wood drill bits to me. Probably intended for masonry. This may explain your drilling problems.

You could tap a drill bit held in your hand with your hammer to make a dent.

A nail helps if it’s skating around.
