[bolger] Re: Size of screws
Dear Bjorn, The shank of a #10 screw is approximately 3/16 of an inch and a
#9 is about 5/32nds. The Jamestown Distributors catalog,
www.jamestowndistributors.com has a to scale drawing on page 3.

Dear Boat Building Friends,
Progress of WDJ Schooner in Oslo is slow due to snow and cold weather.
Anyway, in a few days I will move into my new house where I have space
to produce many of the relatively small bits and pieces like rudder,
skeg, leeboards, tabernacles etc. The sails have arrived and the price
I paid is a very strong reason to finish the project...
PCB is quite specific abt screws. The flat headed screws which fasten
the mast and tabernacle plates are supposed to be #9 and #10. Here in
millimeter country nobody (at least I don't) understands what this
means. I reckon it has to do with the diameter of the shank because the
length of the screws are given in inches and eighths.
Would somebody please explain this to me?
Bjorn

PCB is quite specific abt screws. The flat headed screws which fasten
the mast and tabernacle plates are supposed to be #9 and #10. Here in
millimeter country nobody (at least I don't) understands what this
means. I reckon it has to do with the diameter of the shank because the
length of the screws are given in inches and eighths.
Would somebody please explain this to me?
