Pockets holes are about the easiest way I know to join wood. You
simply use the jig to drill a pocket hole in one work piece, apply
some glue, secure the pieces with a clamp, then insert the screw as
shown in the Illustration.
If you have not experienced the ease and efficiency of pocket hole
joinery yet, maybe you’ll be ready to try it after looking through
these assembly drawings and instructions. You can get a simple
pocket hole jig kit with a step drill and stop collar for less than
$20 and a really nice one for less than $150. Note: A drill press pocket hole jig isn’t suitable for the
plywood panels required for this project. A selection of suitable pocket hole jigs are pictured on the
last page of this document.
