That really is lovely, Charlie.
msmofet, I love hearing about your holiday menus. I wish I had more people to cook for.
That is a truss head square drive screw, and the square drive is the same as the Robertson screw - the original patent holder for the square drive, but that's long gone, before I was even woodworking! I have seen the name occasionally, but usually see just square drive now. The truss head refers to the rather broad head of the pan head screw, to help hold things like the drawer slides on.Pepperhead, when you say square head screws, do you mean Robertson screws, the ones with a square socket?
That's a great looking podium, Charlie! I've never done anything that fancy.

Oh my goodness, are you okay? Ouch!In trying to wrangle my laundry monster, I tripped and face-planted against an old dresser stored in the basement. Ow. Prior to that, we had gone furniture shopping....not for a dresser!
Other than busted pride and bruising, I seem to be fine. The bruises on the face are awful though.
