Hi Matt, I am just retired and starting my woodworking life which was what I wanted to do all my life. I really appreciate your videos, you explain everything very thoroughly which makes me confident that I can do any project. Thanks again!
Hello Matt, I've owned a small custom cabinet making business for many years and I recently discovered your channel. Your advice is spot on and your presentation is professional and you are concise when giving advice and info. Here's a tip that I came up with for protecting pocket hole drill bits especially when taking them on job sites. I took a small scrap of softwood, put the pocket hole drill bit in my drill press and drilled about 1" into the wood, as soon as I'm done using the bit I just slip it into the hole in the piece of wood and the very important tip is protected from breaking off and it stays sharp.
I remember the days when self tapping screws came on the market. Wow, then self tapping countersunk screws, then self tapping countersunk philips head screws then I discovered the pocket hole system...life got better and better in the workshop. All of those older screws still have a use in the workshop, but I l love my K3 kreg jig.
This is such great information! I am new to woodworking, as are many whose comments I've read. I was blessed to have found your channel BEFORE I started building stuff, so I was able to get myself a great pocket hole jig from Armor Tool, AND get a few quality face clamps. I'm so glad to have found out about better ways to do things before ruining them; especially with the price of lumber. Thanks, Matt!! Great stuff!!
Driving your screws in on the “correct” side will also help eliminate blowout as there will be more receiving wood to grab onto. However, for those times you want to “hide” the pocket holes, these are great tips! I especially enjoyed the tip for using the bit as a countersink in conjunction with a 3/8” dowel. That looks snazzy.
Thanks Matt for the helpful tips. I am going to throw a tip out there for you that works for me. Because pocket hole screws are so dang expensive I go to my local hardware store and buy whatever screw I need for the job and add a washer which creates a flange around the head of the screw. It works for me😊
What I like about this video is it covers alot from bosdy basic, which was a nice refresher, to an intermediate level. I knew some of this already but probably 2/3 was new and all of it had value. Subscribed!
Have confidence in yourself on your pocket hole journey. I have a kreg 520 pro. Using and impact vs a drill, go with the drill until your skill set gets better. 1st hand experience. Get a through understanding of the project. Pick really good 2x4"s very important. 1st hand experience. Read your manual if unsure and trust the manual and the education all of us are getting from this short tutorial. Thanks bro.
Thanks for the tip resolving the pocket hole screw piercing through the other side. I was using the typical 1 1/4 inch pocket hole screws going through 3/4 inch stock into 1/2 inch stock. And the screw was breaking through. Didn't know what to do. So my solution was to use 1 inch long washer head pocket hole screws. It seemed to work okay, they went in and bottomed out nice and tight. With your tips, I now have more options available to me. Thanks.
Excellent demonstration of how to properly use pocket hole screws and recover from a punch-through. What was also very good is how the non-pocket hole screw keeps on pulling into the wood vs the pocket hole scree that stops when it's supposed to - really great to see the difference on an actual piece of wood !
I do a ton of pocket hole jointery, working with reclaimed lumber that has some variation in thickness. What I have found as a quick check to make sure my collar is set right. If the narrow tip of the drill bit goes through the mating surface then you're too deep, back it off another eighth...
Don’t forget, 1” or 3/4” wood that you purchase isn’t always 1” or 3/4” to begin with. Plus if you’ve done the majority of your sanding before you assemble you have also removed wood. All that makes a difference.
@@PaulSmyth as an engineer, I can agree that Metric is so much nicer on paper (most people still don't know how many feet are in a mile). As someone in the US who enjoys making things with wood and metal, metric is hardly any better than imperial fractions. What is 1/2" split in half? 1/4"...easy. What's half of 1.27 cm? .635, or 6.35mm....one of those is a lot easier to find on a tape measure than the other... Granted, if I was building with metric, I likely wouldn't have to worry about 1.27cm..but you get the idea.
@@PaulSmyth Yep; why on earth anyone still uses Imperial is beyond me, there is zero logic. Science has been metric forever, because it is precise. I'm an old school Brit but have lived in Europe and the far East for 20 years; I now think litres and km, mm and ml. Life is so much easier
I just saw a video with another cool pocket hole tip. You can use the "mobile" pocket hole jig and a regular 3/8 bit to make an easy to use dowel jig. Great tips man, I appreciate all the help you give us newbies, and maybe even the more experienced guys.
Great tips, Something else for you other fellow woodworkers, there's still gonna be times where pocket screws will blow out and you won't notice it till later on!. I highly recommend getting/using a dremel with a cutoff wheel to grind the screw down flush with the wood. Simple and effective.
I love my Massca pocket hole jig. It is sturdy, accurate, and accurate. I don't do a lot with pocket holes but your tips are valuable. Great video. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips few things i did not know. Got my own power tip came up when making a drawer for a slim kitchen cabinet. My drill could not fit inside the box i was able to set those screws using a socket set with the pocket screw driving bit, being extra careful not to over tighten.
@@731Woodworks I was thinking, I watched Steve Ramsey with a fantastic idea where he made a shoe shine box and had a viewer basically follow along and record it. I'm not sure if you've seen it but it was a really good idea to get people involved and showed how someone who's new to everything can make something fantastic. It's very inspiring. What would you think about doing that? I'd like to be the one to do it with you. I have the Massca Pocket Hole jig, I have 3 projects I make regularly with pocket holes, I'll be making your Credenza next. I would love to be a part of learning from you directly like that and it would prove very beneficial to other viewers. Here's an example: ruclips.net/video/a85wDicANSc/видео.html
Outstanding, extremely well-made video. Great camera shots, you planned out what you were going to say and said it very well, and the result is you saved me a TON of time and effort on my projects. I don't remember the last time I watched a video regardless of subject that packs as much value into 15 minutes as this one did. PURE GOLD. Subscribed. Thank you!!!
That countersink trick!!!!!! Never thought of that so thanks for that. I dislike the 1" kreg pocket hole screws because they don't have that washer head like the others but I've never found anything better yet. Thanks for all the tips.
I have used pocket holes from day one because of the "Pocket Hole King" ! I have the Massca M2 system ( mounted to a piece of MDF ) and it has always done me right. Using the face clamps to keep your boards flush is a great tip ! Thanks Matt !
9:41 #10 THAT is a genius tip, among the many great tips here!! PS: My dowel jig set from "Woodcraft" had all I needed, or so I thought, as the screws had/have an angel under the head! Before I used the jig, luckily, I had heard it's the wrong kind of screws and I got a box of the right ones from a local hardware store!
Another awesome lesson. I never thought of backing off the pocket hole drill. The few times I had blowout I just cut the end of the screw off and plugged the hole. Thank you.
Thanks for the tips and pointers Matt. Always enjoy watching you and learning more. Just as a thought, if you have your pocket hole jig mounted to a base like you are showing us, how about using a Forstner bit to drill a 1/8" or 3/16" hole in front of the pocket hole frame, glue in the rare earth magnet, and keep your items in front of the jig and out of the way of your hand movement since the cutting edges of the drill bit could slice someone's hand if they drug it across at an angle accidentally. Just a thought but it would keep the bits, tools and other items in front and out of the way. Putting in 2 magnets would allow you to have one in front of each edge of the jig and hold long things more securely as well.
Hey Matt, great tip on the plywood not being a true 3/4". Take it a step further, depending on the quality of the plywood even adjusting the bit stop may not be enough. I'm going through that now on a bookshelf. I modified the bit stop and still had to use 1" pocket screws. Just thought I'd share that.
I wish I had the tip(s) on the screws popping through about two weeks ago.... brilliant! Thanks Matt, going to use those next time and save the frustration!!
Just getting into making some wood projects. Building crawfish tables now and looking for other ideas when crawfish season ends. Found your channel today and it has been very helpful. Thank you!
Those clamps are lifesavers especially the right angle one.Before I got them I was so frustrated because the boards kept moving.Thanks for the video it was very informative.
Great video again!! Question on tip 3. Once you've patched the exit wound, clearly you can't just re-tighten the screw as the pocket is set too deep. The next screw lenght down will likely be too short to grip, so what do you do? abandon that pocket hole and drill another? Dowel-fill the hole and re-drill? or grind/nip off the ned of hte original screw so it sits shallower?
Also on the subject of going 1/8 shallower than manufacturer advice. If you have the kreg style jig where the depth setting isn't done via the drilling guide but separately on the base plate, you could stick a 1/8 washer on top of the drill guide metal bush, so that it drills 1/8 shallower
Matt, I have been using pocket hole joinery for many years and enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time to do it. Also, one thing that might be a tip for new users is when determining where you are going to place your pocket holes is try to avoid screwing into the end grain of a board. Also, when I am using two or more screws to attach boards together I like to screw each screw in loosely before driving the first one home. This helps to keep the two boards from shifting when you drive the screws home. Thanks and keep you the great videos.
Almost perfect Matt. You forgot that you can also use your pocket hole system to drive through holes and use a 3/8" dowels to attach the pieces together.
I am a beginner and have never learned anything about pocket holes. You did an excellent job explaining. Thank you for sharing!!! I learned a lot. :))…..
@@Damon_Barber Indeed I can agree to that statement. I just feel bad for asking so many questions since I feel like I'm taking time away from other peoples replies and questions.
Love your videos! Quick question I am hoping you can help with. When I'm using 1" pocket screws (kreg), the screw head is getting caught on pocket hole. Screw go in fine for me on bigger boards that use the larger screws. Any advice?
Particle board screws also have the "warsher" attached to the head of the screw, if you can't get KREG screws. However they are more expensive than KREG screws (where I live anyway) by about $0.04 per screw, but in a pinch they will work if your store is out of KREG screws. They would only be good for interior projects as they don't have a coating
Thanks for sharing awesome tips👍. Hope this tip (from me😊) helps you. I recommend using 10mm - 15 mm rubber floor mats on the concrete workstation floor for preventing accidental fall and breakage of bit tips.
Hi Thank you for this video. The tip 1 leaves me with the same question that I had before looking at the video. It is great to know that making a hole less deep will help but How should I choose le lenth of the screw? It is till a mistery to me. So far I go by try, miss and try again. Is there a better way to choose the screw?
Hey Matt. I enjoy your content and I have a question for the PocketHole King. Do you happen to have a good resource for pocket holes in bulk. I feel like we should be able to save a lot if we order thousands instead of buying hundred counts at retail. I appreciate all you do. Thanx, Greg
One tip I have is to always make sure the joint is closed before putting the screw in. Once I tried to use the pocket screw to close the gap in the joint and the screw head actually pushed a dowel shaped slug of wood through the end grain.
I have one of those 90 degree clamps. I waited a while to get it because it was expensive. Shouldn't have waited! I saw a video of some guys in a cabinet shop using about 6 of them at one time. They said they should have gotten them a long time ago too!

Always test with scrap wood. Chk the thickness before assembly, you can also use 2 pieces of flat 1/8 aluminum, to clamp if you don't have face clamps
Saves a lot of heartache to do a test piece first.
Those clamps are lifesavers especially the right angle one.Before I got them I was so frustrated because the boards kept moving.Thanks for the video it was very informative.

Thanks.... I like using Pocket Holes and these tips and tricks helped out a lot. Will be picking up a thing-a-ma-jig clamp and an extra bit :)

That pocket hole jig looks way nicer then my Kreg and I love the wheel changing sizes
What if you are attaching a onebafour to 1/2" plywood, would you still use a 1.5" screw. Or a tubafour to onebafour do you use 2.5"
you use the screw size that goes with the board you are screwing into
I was wondering the same thing, but I didn't want to ask too many questions LOL.
@Ricochet845 don’t worry about that. I have found Matt to be very patient and helpful. He is truly here to help and serve others.

great tip on how to use the pocket hole bit and collar to create a countersink. Thanks for all you do and the great tips
I'm fairly new to pocket holes
I saw a video when they used wood glue along with pocket holes
Any thoughts
I use glue with pocket holes. Makes them even stronger
I used my router and routed out a hollow a place for the bits and put a little latch to keep them from falling if i move the board.
Great tips as Always, Matt!

Hey Matt. I enjoy your content and I have a question for the PocketHole King. Do you happen to have a good resource for pocket holes in bulk. I feel like we should be able to save a lot if we order thousands instead of buying hundred counts at retail. I appreciate all you do. Thanx, Greg
I don't buy in bulk, sorry. You may reach out to Massca and see if they sell in bulk or somewhere like Fastenal.com
You can use pan head sheet metal screws too in a pinch.
thank you for this video !!!! you are awesome !
Glad you liked it!
One tip I have is to always make sure the joint is closed before putting the screw in. Once I tried to use the pocket screw to close the gap in the joint and the screw head actually pushed a dowel shaped slug of wood through the end grain.
Good tips. Thank you for sharing your video.
Glad it was helpful!
I have one of those 90 degree clamps. I waited a while to get it because it was expensive. Shouldn't have waited! I saw a video of some guys in a cabinet shop using about 6 of them at one time. They said they should have gotten them a long time ago too!
Excellent tips!
Glad you like them!
Thanks, these tips will really help

Great tips, when I started using pocket holes blowouts happened a few times.
