I agree with the caption in the thumbnail for this video. Anything built with pocket holes should be considered disposable.
😂
What an entitled, arrogant, smug, self-righteous, and immature view. Obviously you have never needed to use pocket holes which questions your experience in woodworking. In many furniture restorations, especially vintage Japanese pieces made with a 5/8" or 1/2" delicate frame, retrofitting panels can only be done with pocket holes. So many other uses for tight fitting pieces or retrofits where other forms of joining are not possible or would entail dismantling the whole piece at risk of permanent damage. Go do more woodworking before you make such sweeping statements.
That's COOL!!!! I would keep it!!!!
Exactly what I was searching for. Clear, detailed, well-paced, informative. Thanks.
This tool is extremely useful for hidden drilling and where it is not possible to drill. We are waiting for your new videos.
Thanks! They’re coming out slowly for now because I’m away on business, but I hope to have more very soon
I liked your work and was impressed with your explanations
Thank you!
Dude. Awesome job! Thanks for sharing this will go a long way 👍👍
Thanks!
I'll have to make one, really didnt know where to start, thanks!
You’re welcome!
My first time watching you and well impressed.
Thank you so much!
Hi I like your work. I am, starting this project and I am still learning thank you
Awesome! Thank you! Have fun
I made the jig then mounted it vertically and included some supports to speed up assembling some frames. Thanks.
Great idea! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks, im gonna try this out....👍
No problem! Thanks for watching
There is no shoulder formed to stop screw head from passing all the way through
18.4k! Killin’ it! Love my portable jig and use it all the time! Will make multiples now. When are you going to make DIY Man merch with your logo? Need a shirt for X-Mas! Keep up the great work!
Thanks man! I’m finally getting there! I actually do have a merch store! You can find it here: www.DIYMAN.store Merry Christmas!
Very nice DIY tool. I'd build it just because Kreg is outrageously expensive for a plastic Made in China tool. I feel ripped off.
I'd use metal pipes inside, and make two sizes, one narrow one for delicate furniture restoration. The Kreg drill bit is too thick.
Sometimes I need #6 screws.
fyi:
2:56 - Roll up your sleeves. Dangerous to have long sleeves in a workshop and it also blocks the camera view.
Always drill pilot holes in the receiving wood piece. Self tapping screws can crack the wood due to pressure of sawdust being trapped in there. Drill your pilot holes then use a long thin drill bit to match the screw shaft and drill into receiving end with this. Now it will never crack.
I'm going to build this, but I'll insert a metal pipe inside to make it a more permanent solution.
Nice! I actually ended up making another one and doing the same thing
That is a homemade pocket hole jig and it works just fine! Disposable? No way! Maybe you can make a simple drill press! Merry Christmas and all the best for 2022 to you and your family!
Thank you! You never know. I’ve thought about making a drill press in the past. Seems like a lot of work. Lol Merry Christmas!
DIY man. Would you be able to build me a Kreg hole jig for attaching 3/4” wood and 1.5” wood?
perfect for DIY'er Thanks. About to make mine, but one question, I wonder since there isn't a guided hole for the screw, does the wood split on the plywood side?
I haven’t had an issue with it, but I do typically use the pocket hole drill bit too
@@DIYMAN that makes sense... I just have to stop being totally cheap :)
😊
I love your show and I love to work with wood. I am a retired nurse and have a budget as do most people on social security. I am wondering if you can give me any information about what I would need to do basic stuff. I have some tools and electrical like saws, jig saw and drills. Is it safe to buy used stuff? Where could I go to find these things? Is working with epoxy costly? I appreciate you reading my comment and thank you.
Thanks Cathy! Yes, I love used tools! They save so much money. You might like this video, it explains the basic tools you need. czcams.com/video/iw8nTRP5Cm0/video.html. As far as epoxy is concerned, I really don’t know much about it. It’s not super expensive though
Have not seen you for so long!!! How are you doing!! Merry Christmas!! Do you and your father in law still fly the plane? Any new projects on plasma cutter? How about songs? Do you still sing?
I’m doing great! Merry Christmas! Yes, we still got the plane. I started a new channel, called “Adventure Men” and I’m hoping to start adding some videos on our flying adventures. And yes, I do still sing, lol, maybe I’ll make another parody soon. Never know 😏
OMG you drill at about 20degrees not perendicular
PERPENDICULAR, not PERENDICULAR. No such word.
omg... :(
Even better, learn how to do proper joinery...
Even better, go do your homework on retrofitting or restoration before you say nonsense.
