after watchting this vid you got new sub, can u give me the farmhouse bundle to start? so i can try and eventually buy more...

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!

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!!

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 never thought about mounting my pocket hole jig to a board like that. Gives me ideas!

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.

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 !

I have been using the pocket hole bit as a counter sink for years. Great tips👊

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!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I'm building my first first table, and I used the clamping tip to level my joining boards.

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 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😊

Excellent video! A great help to a pocket hole newbie like myself.

so helpful thank you :) my Pocket Hole Jig arrived today - cannot wait to get started :)

YES ! Thanks so much for this. I am starting a console table project. Pocket holes made easy.

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...

Always love the tips shared because for a TRUE beginner this has helped me so much!!

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.

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.

Hello Matt. Thank you for all of your great advice on the pocket holes. I hope you, and Amy are having a Wonderful and Blessed Day!!! 😀

Outstanding tips

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.

Thanks. I did like the counter sink trick with the pocket hole bit.

Thanks for the tips. i like having extra bits so i can set them up for different depths so no switching back and forth.

Excellent video simple thank you

I just bought a jig today, gonna make my first desk. GREAT video, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great tips as Always, Matt!

Love your videos man! Always been interested In wood working thinking about doing it as a side gig/hobbie

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.

Super helpful 👌🏾, thanks for sharing.

@@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: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2xp2aaik6S0g8Y.html

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!

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.

Hey Damon I just wanted to thank you again for the quarter tip. It's been super helpful in building my small projects.

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.

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.

Agreed! Those 1” screws don’t seem to want to bite and I wonder if the head has anything to do with it.

Love the vids as always man. God bless you and your family keep up the great work. Not sure if anyone has ever tried but in a pinch Cabinet screws might work since they're a similar design unless the head is too big

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. :))…..

great video.... Looks like I need to invest in a thingamajig clamp. And i like the countersink idea... good stuff...many thanks

Great video and I love your style, and tee-shirts! I'm just sorry I didn't watch it before I tried to build my first - and second - melamine shelf units where I was using pocket holes - this would have helped big time! But the tips will be great for future projects.

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.

Thank you for the tips

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
