- Who is the Drills, Screws & Plugs poster for?
- Drills, Screws & Plugs belongs to the Practical skills section rather than to a school year, because life skills is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning home can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Drills, Screws & Plugs poster?
- Test on an offcut or a hidden spot first. The wrong pilot hole splits wood and cracks plaster. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Drills, Screws & Plugs belongs on the wall where that life skills work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
