Actually had to pause the video to make sure that was in the comments. Really nice touch!

Your graphics depicting what each cut is for are really helpful. I've not seen this technique before. Very helpful for the viewer.

Love the way that you have the plan for the jig superimposed on the video. Lots of videos don't even show the finished product till the end and it's hard to figure out what's going on. Cool jig!

Thanks for doing the overlay. I know it was a lot of work, but it makes it feel more like we're following along.

I like the little visualization of which part you're cutting/assembling. Great vid & project! Thanks!

thanks, it was a lot of extra work so I hope it helps fallow along especially anyone that wants to build one.

Great project. I'm just a weekend warrior who spent time helping my dad in his shop before he passed away several years ago. I wish I had the space to have kept his tools. Viewing the video of these projects being assembled is a huge help. I was electrocuted 5 years ago. Areas of the brain responsible for retention of information were affected. Seeing things being done is a big deal for me.

I take quite a bit of pain medication. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't. Thanks for the encouragement. Hoping it'll stop one day but I'm not overly optimistic.

I know this is an old thread and all but couldn't just not say anything. My father suffered from constant migraines for 3 years after a work accident. Medication only helped spuradically and he finally tried CBD oil. He no longer has migraines 24/7 and actually has a life again. CBD is a chemical compound in the cannabis plant(THC is another chemical in the plant and is what gets you "high") which carries most of the medical benefits the plant can offer without the getting stoned effect. Don't know what your thoughts or opinions are on the cannabis plant but I implore you to look into CBD products and see how they help. It's my fathers only solution he could find.

Nicely done, man. Very cool.

I love the way you colour code your work. Thank you for your great video.

the opening animation illustrating all of the components - brilliant!

The whole time I was like "this is dumb, there's no point to this." Then at the end I put my foot in my mouth. Good job dude.

You are a very talented individual. Thank you for sharing that talent.

Man, this is such a cool project. I just happened to find it and I have probably watched this and the update videos at least 5 times each in the past week. You got me hooked and now I feel like I really need one in my shop. I have a big miter saw station that I'm getting ready to build and I want to do it almost all in pocket holes, and considering how many holes I'm going to be drilling, this is the only way to do it efficiently. Thank you for the inspiration and the plans!

Amazingly steady hands . Using a router so precisely with no jig, no guide, is rare. Same for jigsaw etc. Bravo.

Nice Job! Thank You for sharing.

Dude, you have heaps of raw talent. I love watching your build videos. Thank you for taking the time to post them, it is what helps to make the world a better place.

This is pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome job!

Tip Top job.!!! And video, especially the lack of unnecessary faff.

good as good as ever and the side window with explanations is really a excellent thought with a little ingenuity you managed to save a lot of money, so still good.

A nice job

Awsome build

That is really quite ingenious!

For more accuracy when mounting things like the drill, cover the drill with scotch tape to act like a release agent. You're going to make a cradle for it. Make a small boxed in area slightly bigger than the area around where the drill goes. Mix up Bondo and fill in the boxed area. Push the tape covered drill into the Bondo where it belongs. Use scraps and clamps to hold it in place while the Bondo sets up. When it's set up pull the drill out and remove the tape. Sand away what isn't needed and then use straps or bracing to clamp it down tightly.

Just another suggestion about the same problem. In the video, it shows mounting the drill on a cradle near the chuck, putting some plumbing strapping over it to hold it down and presto!, it's a perfect fit. I could not get mine perfect and had to use the full sheet of melamine board to create a new sled-carrier and sides of the box (too full of screw holes while I was trying to find perfect angle). First of all, when you create the cradle to hold up the front of the drill make sure the body of the drill is as flat as it can lay on the carrier; do not try to angle the chuck upward to achieve the entry angle; let the angle of the sled-carrier do that. To find the correct plane, the easiest thing for me was to mark the center line on the sled. I had already mounted my kreg basic jig and drilled through the top of the box. I took a 3/8" dowel (check for absolute straightness; very important) and fed it down the exit hole of the jig about 8" or 9". This gives you a visual reference of the plane the sled needs to be in. Just by sight you'll be able to line up the sled-carrier within a few degrees of parallel to the dowel. Mark a pencil line on both of the sides both above and below the carrier. Remove the dowel and chuck the kreg step bit into your drill and insert it into the lower hole of the kreg jig. Insert bit all the way in and adjust the carrier until the sled touches the bottom of the drill being sure your sled-carrier is parallel to your lines on both sides. Mark new pencil lines on sides for final position and put x's through your old lines. Remove carrier and sled, mount drill as per video (with bit directly centered over centerline) and install carrier and sled with screws after test checking that the bit will freely move into the jig. If you can get within a few degrees, you're fine. Backing out the step bit does not result in the bit exiting the jig and becoming misaligned with the entry hole. Once the bit is inside the kreg basic jig the tip stays in when the bit is lowered from the workpiece. The front of the box keeps the sled from coming back far enough to disengage the bit from the kreg jig. As long as I'm writing a book (sorry), one last comment. I see that in the video, the poster removed the plug from the drill. I just used a 16 gauge extension cord to bring power to my on/off switch. Rather than cut the plug off my drill I opted to wire in the receptacle end of the extension cord and have the switch energize the plug (I left about 10" of cord on the receptacle to do this.) Once the receptacle is mounted to front panel, just plug the unaltered drill into it and you'll still have the option of having a corded drill.

I’m definitely going to be building one of these this weekend. Excellent video!

Thank You! For sorting out the plans, CAD-ing them up, and making them available for Free!

Really impressive.

Great Video! Thank You for sharing your design and plans with the rest of us. I particularly liked the video enhancement showing which part was being machined.

Very cool. Great job, well done, cheers.

Man, I absolutely love this video. Very ingenious, well thought out.

I am so amazed you offer FREE plans on your site. Thank you so much 👍

This is a really great design. I think too save space a small shop, you could build it into the back fence of the chopsaw bench. It would always be available, and still be able to pocket hole long and short pieces, even up to 24 inches wide [ or wider ] without interfering with the chopsaw station, and taking valuable shop table space.

im not usually one to mess around with dead tree carcasses, being a metal guy, but i just cant stop watching your videos haha! you've got some really cool tools here! i enjoy watching the builds. i started with your DIY CNC router, and cannot stop watching. cheers bud!

It looks great. You did a nice job. Congratulations!

That's an awesome build, an inspiration! Once my workshop's up & running I may have to put one together - I don't have access to the funds for a Foreman! Thanks for the video and the plans.

Great job bud. I’m really enjoying your videos. I’m thinking I might incorporate one of these into the feed out side of my mitre saw station as it can all sits flush with the bench top and support long lengths. A couple of upgrades being a sliding back fence for different thickness panels and a spring loaded hold down clamp attached to the handle so when you pull the handle down it holds the piece in place. Also attaching a spring to the handle or slide for self return, or does the weight of the drill on its slide already do that? Anyway.... great job and well thought out.

Thats amazing!!!!!!

Good job!.Thanks a lot.

Very nice job! Such sweet irony using a mini to build a foreman!!!

Genius!

Awesome build, is it adjustable or just set for 3/4" stock?

Great job! The price of the foreman is a bit much for me, and I have that little pocket hole piece already, as it came with my K-4 kit!! Thanks for making the plans available!!

it's vary good work

Good build. 👍

Very good job! I don't do enough pocket holes to justify the space for a dedicated machine but if I did I'd build this one. Most pocket holes are used on 3/4 material. My older Kreg jig is not adjustable and I haven't thrown it away in favor of replacing it with a new one. Good design well built. Thanks for sharing.

nice idea , and it seems to be reasonable eazy to make i have a few no brand cordless drills of wish the batteries died , think i'm going to use that and a computer 12 volt power supply for a pockethole machine one thing i might add though , a ruler across the surface with the zero in front of the pocket hole drill and counting up both ways from it to center and space the holes out on with smaller pieces

I'd like to see the wire job for that. Have you done it before? I too have a pre-lithium set of cordless tools that are barely used.

I posted a video of my prototype version of these I did away with the lever went with a foot pedal and a cable.Now that i worked the bugs out I will be building the one using my good material.i got the idea from this video and the wooden tool mans videos lol

This is such a great project! Looks easy to make and easy to keep up with! I can't imagine how much money you save by making this at home versus purchasing the keep jig for this. Thanks for the video!
