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 KZreadrs but from what I’ve seen there are not enough people going over the basics. Thank you for your amazing content much appreciated.

Thank you! My husband passed and I have all his tools. I’m learning, slowly, how to do house repairs, etc. and I am clueless! There is no place to learn these things for someone who already has a career and no time to get a technical woodworking degree where this would be taught.

As a guy who is just getting into woodworking, I love the idea of the “back to the basics” series. Any instruction in tools and techniques is helpful when you have never used them before.

Absolutely loved this. Everything explained so clearly. Finally found something on how to do the T joint using two different sizes of material. Thank you so much.

I learned a mistake I was making with pocket holes just by watching this. I think the back to the basics series would be awesome for those of us that are still new to woodworking and also be a refresher for those that have done it a while. Keep up the good work!!! #KentuckyStrong

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!

Thank you from an old grannie that is trying to make her own Kitchen cabinets ( but everything is in Chinese) not understanding how to properly use a “Jig” and especially the nail size you have given me so much information that is so useful and saving me plywood material, thank you once again and Please do continue to have more videos for dummies like me

Matt, I think that a back to basics series would be great especially if you include tips and tricks like running a countersink backwards to stop tear out in the begging and sliding your speed square up to the pencil to get a more accurate line.

i'm self taught and go on intuition and trial and error and would really appreciate back to the basics channel. thanks for the inspiration

Thank you Peech. Even though I've been using Creig Pockel Hole jigs and screws for years, I believe this video is for everyone. My question is what about the woodworkers using the entry level jigs that use the clamp to hold the jig to the wood? Those woodworkers may be the most benefited by your back to basics teaching videos. BUT KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU ARE DOING. I'm trying to watch every video you have produced! Old dogs need taught something new or reminded of something we already knew.

My favorites are the K-3 & the K-5. Been using them for almost 20 years now. Most of my shop boxes were put together with pocket holes. I've put together and fixed a ton of drawers with my small screw drilling guide as well. The drill bits are so cheap, that it's worth buying and presetting the depths on different bits. Every time I start up a run for drilling holes, I check to make sure I have the right bit by setting the guides depth, and then dropping in the bit I'm going to use to make sure It sits correctly. I als cut a small length of hose off to slip over the dust hood so I can connect my vacuum to it. It's all mounted to a piece of plywood that I clamp down to my MFT/3 work bench. Great system if you don't over tighten the and strip the screw holes (spinners). There's a fix for that. Drill a through hole and drive a 3/8" dowel through it and make it a feature.

Yes. Thank you for us folks just learning!

Wow thank you. I’ve searched for ages to find basic instruction in pocket holes, 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.

Very useful! Not only on how to use but also which jig will best fit my needs... thanks Peach ! Love your videos 👍

Matthew I’ve just found your tutorials, this one has been very informative. Here in the UK, the Kregg Jig is not popular, it’s not sold in DIY stores so Amazon is the place to purchase. The difficulty with Amazon is there’s no information so tutorials like this are invaluable to help decide on the final model. As a woman I feel intimidated asking for assistance in stores especially lumber yards where most purchases are made by experienced (mostly male) professionals. I do have many of the basic tools so look forward to seeing more of your basic tutorials - the Miter Saw is one I particularly look forward to. Oh by the way, another challenge …… what about us left handed folks? Some things need to be set up differently for lefties and no one ever discusses that! Keep teaching, I love your tutorials!

Thanks for the great tips. I’m getting ready to start a project that will use a lot of pocket holes.

Since covid my plan has to finally use some of the tools I have acquired over the years...my 'retirement dream'.. I think your idea of another series would be very helpful.
