There are countless ways to join two pieces of wood (nails,
dowels, biscuits, mortise and tenon, dovetails, to name but a few),
but in recent years pocket hole joinery has been growing in
popularity mainly because it is a simple technique to master and
the tooling available guarantees a strong joint every time.
Pocket screw joinery makes simple work of face frames, cabinets,
and other applications where you want to hide the fasteners. The
pocket hole jig, usually a stepped drill bit and guide bushing,
drills an angled hole though the end of a piece of wood. A pocket
screw, similar to a wide pan-head screw, is then driven through the
hole into the mating piece of wood making a strong, tight joint.
The advantage is that you are driving the screw through the end
grain, similar to toe-nailing into the side grain.
The 8 projects in this book range from a simple picture frame,
through a bathroom vanity, to furniture projects such as a bed, end
table, and dresser. Furniture maker Mark Edmundson explains the
basics of pocket hole joinery, helps you select the right jig for
the job, shows how to use pocket screws with dowels and biscuits,
and explains why clamping is the most important part of the
assembly. It s a complete course in pocket hole joinery, with 8
great projects to show for it.
