Woodsmith’s Pocket Hole Joinery basics

You do realize that next week is Get Woodworking Week, right?  It’s an internet-wide effort to get those curious about the craft of woodworking to try their hand at the craft.

While learning how to cut classic joints is a great skill to develop with time and practice, many prospective woodworkers want to see something go together quickly to fill a particular need in their home. Maybe a bookshelf. Maybe a student desk for a child.

Pocket screw joinery can be that first, fast and strong joint that turns the desire to build something into a real first project. This guide, offered by the folks at Woodsmith magazine, gives you the basics on how the process works and the tools that you will need to crank out your first project.
