Tips from a Shipwright -- Check this guy out!

[John Gulick]

I have been in the biz for almost 50 years and have always believed " if you can build a boat, you can build anything". However I am not onboard with operation of power tools without guards, etc. etc.

So, I have never heard anyone refer to a flathead screw driver as a slotted screw driver once in my 40 years but I guess you can learn something new every day. I didn't think about them being able to be cleaned out and removed easier, that does make sense. I love how uptight it is around here and no one can focus on anything that is said other then to find a way do argue or dispute it. "Slotted screws" suck and I would rather throw the boat away and build a new one then to have to install one single flathead errr slotted screw. Death to the slotted screw!!!!!

I got your back. I was just having the "death to flatheads" conversation this weekend with my brother-in-law. I also am new to hearing them referred to as "slotted". Semantics...

I'm a little behind on my forum perusing.
