I received a couple of helpful tips on why the wood may have split on me when driving the pocket screws. When going into the end grain its better to have the screws angled toward the middle of the board rather than the outside like I did in this video, this should reduce/stop the splitting. If I did that in this case the hardware would have been visible on the outside, ultimately a different joint than pocket screws might have been better here, but that’s why we practice! I’ll look into testing this and covering it further in a future video.
