After this the steel angle brackets are removed and the wood working project is nothing but wood, there are no other screws. Steel angle brackets, or anything that has any other thing than just plain and simple wood.
The wood is of wooden dowels, or fasteners and other parts, the steel angel brackets allow the wood to set as one piece and do what it needs to do.
