Pocket Holes / Pocket Screws EXPLAINED!! (How Pocket Joinery Works--Kreg Pocket Jigs--PROS AND CONS)

Pocket holes and pocket screws have dominated the topic of joinery for the last 30 years. And yet, pocket joinery is still a mystery for many carpentry and woodworking newcomers. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will explain how pocket joinery works!

JOINERY is simply the practice of joining boards together.

Throughout woodworking history, this was either done by fastening boards through their ends (butt joints); fastening boards by means of intermediary pieces (dowels, biscuits and splines combined with glue and pressure); or fastening boards through complex, mating cuts (complex joinery such as dovetails, mortise and tenons, or half-laps).

Each of these methods presents its own problems. Some aren't very strong, or are unsightly. Some require a lot of messy glue setups. And some are just too complicated for newcomers.

Pocket joinery made fast, clean joinery accessible for new carpentry and woodworkers.

Pocket joinery involves using custom boring guides (pocket jigs), special drill bits, and custom fasteners (pocket screws) to create fast, easy joins between boards.

Pocket jigs drill 15-degree holes in the faces of boards. Special pocket screws can seat down in these pocket holes, and fasten adjoining boards.

KREG is the largest pocket joinery company in the world.

The process of learning pocket joinery can be learned in minutes, and used by anyone. Many cabinets and pieces of furniture on the market these days are assembled with some type of pocket joinery.

Thanks for watching!
