alrite, making the box, got some of it cut and we went to make sure the screws we got would work. so we pre-drilled the holes and screwed the screw in. the wood cracked. tried it again, same result. tried a bigger pre-drilled hole, no luck.
please someone tell me how to do this without the wood cracking.
thanks

use thinner screws like gypsum/drywall screws which is what i use

also dont put screws too near the ends of the piece of mdf - put it about 2" away @ least

note if u use liquid nails it actually holds steonger than screws itself .....

yes, keep them from the ends, ends split easy... is there not a slightly larger bit you can use?

you dont have to use screws, u can clamp everything .. of course it takes a hell of alot longer to assemble it
