      I second that! As stated in my previous comment, I've owned this little gem for years. It's now a year since I've used it. As I was planning to do a repair tomorrow, I thought I'd look at the video again, just to refresh my memory. Finally, I've understood the markings and the - almost invisible - little tick.
      So, yes, please don't ever delete this tutorial! The Trend video and instruction booklet are absolutely rubbish.

    I've just bought the trend 3in1 pocket jig and have found Trends manual to be as clear as mud 😆 your video has helped a lot, I'm making some doors for a mini wooden greenhouse I've made so intend to put the jig to use on them...thank you!

    I've got three of the Trend pocket hole jigs. I bought this one a couple of years ago, chucked it in my toolbox to use on the hoof. I recently used it to fix a noisy flight of stairs. I particularly liked the idea of being able to set the depth without resorting to little blocks of wood, which is what you have to do with the all-metal double pocket hole jig. Hey, it works, but it's good to be able to do it easily straight out of the box.
    Alas, I've not used it as much as I'd have liked, simply because I just couldn't see the little mark you so helpfully zoomed in on. My eyesight is not the best - particularly in bad light - and let's face it, the instructions are less than stellar, so I just gave up and went back to doing a few testers on scraps and then taping a spacer to the front.
    Thanks for sharing.

    • @MeMyselfandMaking
      @MeMyselfandMaking  Před 3 lety +2

      Your very welcome but I’ve thrown the box away sorry , I’ve just had a mess with some CLS , my set come with a couple of 50mm screws so with the 38mm setting on the jig , using the 50mm screws there is 18mm that goes into the 2nd CLS and looking at the angle you could go another 10mm so using 60mm , I have just taken a photo of if I can send it you somehow , hope this helps

  • @yorkiecol7973
    @yorkiecol7973 Před měsícem +1

    just bought one of these today to use on some studwork, instructions not that great, but your video is brilliant and well explained thank you. only two questions remain the max setting is 38mm but it says it can be used on timber up to 3in thick, so if the wood is thicker than 38mm using the max setting should work just fine, and I assume a longer screw for fixing, is this right.

    • @MeMyselfandMaking
      @MeMyselfandMaking  Před měsícem

      Thank you for that , if it was an unusual size , I would always do a test piece first , I would drill my first piece and insert screw , then place it at the side of what I wanted to attach to , making sure I had enough screw in and making sure it wasn’t too long if that makes sense , hope this helps

    • @yorkiecol7973
      @yorkiecol7973 Před měsícem +1

      @@MeMyselfandMaking yes it does thank you, the angle of the pocket is always the same so 38mm setting should work on any thickness above 38mm the point I made was asking if the screw needs to be longer on thicker wood or if a general bite of say the average fixing would work ok, other wise you would need a lot of different sizes of screws on work above 38mm. however if the length of screw used on on the max setting of 38mm gave enough bite you would only need one size of screw for all thicker joints.

      @MeMyselfandMaking  Před 3 lety

      I have tried it on a bit of 12mm mdf , on the settings it advises the 30mm screws I have are too big , the pocket hole goes in about 11mm and 19mm sticking out at the angle , so maybe with a smaller screw , I only have 30mm screws , but the instructions says from 12.7mm thickness , hope this helps you a bit
