I am trying to connect some pine 2x4's to some 4x4's using wood screws, but I don't know how strong the connections will be. This is to build a cabinet with an aquarium on top, so I want it to be strong. The 4x4's make the legs, and the 2x4's are cross supports. So any idea how much weight I can expect a 3" long s***w to support? I would be more worried about the wood giving out at the joint than the metal itself, but of course I could be wrong about that. Any help anyone has would be very helpful!
