Thanks! I'm having a problem though, I'm trying to join two bits of plywood and every time I put the screw in, the other bit of wood moves away so it's not a tight join. I've drilled a pilot hole, still happens. Any ideas?

@joe588 Drill the hole in the first piece of plywood large enough that the screww can turn freely in it - without grabbing the wood. You only want the threads to grab the second piece of wood. It is the threads catching in the first piece that is causing the pieces to separate. Hope this helps...
