    As a 20 year old who just started buying tools and doing basic wood working I’m very grateful you are starting this series. I’ve been learning pretty much everything I know so far from your channel and other RUclipsrs but from what I’ve seen there are not enough people going over the basics. Thank you for your amazing content much appreciated.

      Hey Zach! Thanks and I too have to admit that I typically use an impact... but I started with a drill and set the torque. After a while, you can "hear" the stopping point with an impact... I guess I've memorized the number of torque clicks lol. And your story is one of the reasons I do what I do... I have always used woodworking as my own place to focus all of my thoughts on what I'm working on... and then the feeling of accomplishment when you take "nothing" and make "something". I'm a huge supporter of mental health support as well as the military. If you know of any veterans woodworking groups send them my way. Thank you for your comment and a huge thank you for your service!

    Well I've been pocketholing for about a year now "yes very much still a rookie" but out of all the pocket hole videos this is the one that finally made it all click 🤣 thank you!

    A most excellent video. I was trying to drill a 2X4 piece of wood into a 3/4 inch plywood. Learned that I need to set my pocket hole jig to the 3/4 inch setting. BTW, I also put a small hole through my jig just before watching your video. Dang! Thanks again.

    Thank you so much Matthew. I’m trying to learn everything I can. I want to be able to make a little extra $$$$ and build some of the planters and small projects that you have shown. My husband & 20 yr old son have no desire to do anything but cars and trucks. Oh, and fishing.
    Great video as usual . God bless you .
