Woodworkers alamac?

[Deadeye]

Hi

I read a post once recommending an alamac of information pertinent to woodworkers - what size hole to drill for a screw to be loose (ful thread diameter) or tight (core diameter), that sort of thing.

I can't remember the name of the book/pamphlet that everyone semeed to agree was the right thing - and can't find the thread.

Anyone remember or know what I'm talking about? I don't need a 500 page engineering reference; just some normal facts and figures.

The Woodworkwers pocket book by Charles Hayward may may be what your’e after

Cheers

A "Zeus" handbook is what you are probably after:
