The clamping jig is ingenious! Next thing on my project list!
A lot of us pocket hole users use a drill to drive the pocket hole screws so you can set the clutch. An impact takes a lot of finesse to not burst the pocket. Great job as always!
Johno, you knocked this video out of the park. It's clean, flows really well, really useful and the drawers look great. Genuinely nailed it.
Cheers Kevin
I love pocket holes. Discovered them about 20 years ago and using them on most of my projects. One bit of advice I would give is to use a drop of glue . I also use spax pan head screws which have T15 heads which I find better and a lot cheaper
Use clamps when fastening pocket screws to stop movement.
When measuring the drawer width , put both drawer sides together on one side , then measure the width , it it a lot easier .
Screw-cutting tip is great!
Hi John. Glad to see you made access under the MFT top possible. Never mind the dust that falls through the holes, but you will also loose screws and bits and other stuff, and always when you don't have a replacement.
Hi John, another cracking video and funny as when it comes to pocket holes I think we have all made the same mistake with them moving when in place😳🤣. Best thing mate is to clamp them down if possible then get one screw in and then it shouldn’t move. Or if difficult to clamp the pieces together, then use the mft with either clamps or dogs to just stop the pieces from moving whilst you get that first screw in. Kreg have loads of videos on the best way to get over this and sell a special clamping device. I think Peter at 10min workshop has done vids on pocket holes sometime a go. Another great vid is from Shop Nation and his latest workbench build as he uses pocket holes all the time. By the way loved the vid on the castors and great idea. Will be doing that myself now. Plywood prices 🤬🤬
Cheers for the tips Mark
I've seen other woodworkers use long bar clamps to ensure that pieces don't slip when using pocket holes. Normally put the piece in and bar clamp the outside of the cabinets inwards to hold the inner piece.
Very nice work! I have a smaller workbench myself but am very interested in using this style of drawers rather than shelves to keep sawdust out.
As a new home owner I'm very happy I found your channel. Great ideas for helping me set my shop up. Appreciate you sir
Welcome!
Great content . This was the best video I found for installing drawers into a bench. Also i can already see the screw trimming trick with knipex saving me time in the future . 🤘🏻
Awesome work, John! Really nice! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
i think you need to make custom pulls for your drawers, in the shape of a lightening bolt, mentioning your prof. job, would look really cool in walnut!!
Hello John, came to your channel from a shout out from Tommy on eire workshop. Like what I have seen so far nice contrast between his and your channel. It's nice to see Irish youtubers supporting others. John
Welcome along John
Looks good, you will have some fun dreaming up all the little holders you can make to go in the drawers - loads of potential there.
Hi John, with the price of wood going up I used 2 drawer metal filing cabinets, they fit perfectly under my bench. The added benefit is, they are strong and have a lock on them for security and they are cheap 2nd hand. Great video
Cool Table. I like how the 4x2 trim pieces around the top give it a finished look and also keep the MFT top in place with ability to lift it off for replacement. Good way to vacuum under it as well because I was wondering about that when you inserted the 1/2 in piece to block saw dust from entering the cabinets.
Great vidjo John. The Kreg pocket hole jig was one of the first things I bought when setting up my wee workshop. After years of watching woodworking blogs and shows on youtube. Had a list of essential tools. Funny how that list changes over the years. As in the other comments the trick with pocket screws if you need a flush edge is clamping. I clamp a block inside or outside depending which side I'm screwing. Mind the knees bud. I'm thinkin of gettin a couple of grease nipples fitted to mine. And get well soon . Head colds are back, thank God #fedupofcovid.😉
Great video fella.. I use pocket hole joinery occasionally and found that when I first put the screw in I run the driver in reverse briefly which seems to help it sink in straighter, especially with mdf.
Great project!! I love the detachable MFT top idea!
Great stuff John. Love the screw nipping tip, never thought of that. Happy days
Clamp a block of wood behind the part you are pocket drilling. This will support it and stop it from moving. Quick and simple.
John another awesome listen. Some useful tips oh I’ve got to get my garage sorted out so I can make some drawers but I got excuse if they’re crooked.
Cheers Paul, glad you enjoyed it
Hi John, I certainly would not call myself an expert, but I have been using pocket whole joints for a long time. I used to put my wood in about mm so that the wood movement would correct the alignment. I bought a pocket hole clamp about 20 years ago (it is the one that goes into one of the holes and this sorted out the problem and I can now clamp my wood and it does not move on me. I would not advise anyone to use screws that are not meant for pocket whole joinery,
I'll have to get one John
Hi John, great vid as usual.
I’d just say though that if I was planning to layer the drawers from the start I’d make 2 drawers rather than layering. I get the more expensive and more work but have been there with pulling stuff out to get to other stuff and in a few years you’ll be making 2 drawers to replace 1!
Nice job John,well done !
Great video.
Maybe the tear-out on the pocket holes is because that’s the part of the timber that the drill bit ‘pulls’ up on. Hard see how to stop it except maybe make sure the board is clamped tight, the drill is sharp AF or even put masking tape over the boards? Not sure any of this would work, but?
Great Video I hope the knee is going well.
I would suggest get one of the pocket hole clamps that go into the pocket hole itself
as I use to get the same issue as you it was just off that small bit
I can confirm it is gone up after getting timber for a kitchen build it went from €800 to €1200 +vat
everything
I will check that clamp out! I got a email this week telling me all electrical supplies are going up 30% to!!! 😦
Another great Video & Project John as always well done
Really nice bench, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Hey, John... I really like that work station. The drawer build was pretty straight forward and really essential for organization of tools and accessories. I'm curious about the slight shift when acrewing the pocket hole joints. I have a Kreg system that has a great clamp that has one end that sits in a pocket hole as the other hole or holes are screwed. I haven't used it alot yet but did not seem to have that slight shift in the stretcher. I'm sure to watch out for it now in future projects. Enjoy your channel! Thanks
Fantastic! Nicely done!
Thanks John. Another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
John you need to clamp a speed square so it sits flush that’s all you need to do mate. Hope this helps
Great job John the table is getting closer to the finish the line. If i was you check out Dennis@ Hooked on wood he has a video on his under table dust extraction box for his router
Put a pull out shelve under your packout case , makes it much easier to get into .
Perfect projekt 👍😊
Brilliant
My man, if you clamp the ends of what your putting your pocket hole in, with them clamped they won't move when your fastening them together. I've been using pocket screws fora few years. So there's my thoughts my friend.
Look up "the Swedish maker" on TH-cam . He has done nice plastic boxes for sandpaper.
I like the new pocket hole jig masca very nice
Are you all right you sound a bit ill or maybe it is just the mic
Just a little bit under the weather, a slight cold. Thanks for asking. 👍
I use a pocket hole clamp from Kreg and the movement of the stretchers won't happen with those..
How are you finding the Trend router bits? I have some cheap ebay efforts and fancy an upgrade.
Keep up the great work John 👍🏻
Hi Rob they work well I have no complaints so far
A normal drill driver works better for screwing pocket holes. An impact can be a bit too strong and damage the material by over tightening. Easier to control the torque on a drill driver.
Hi John, where did you get the drawer runners and how much are they?
Got them in a local builders providers, most hardware stores will have them. 10 euros a pair
Great video! What brand is that pocket hole jig?
Its a Trend
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed thanks
Great video, do you get the Red Milwaukee packout cases as a default out in Ireland 🇮🇪 same as the states?
No we get back ones here, I just happened to get a red set early on.
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed ahh, lucky you! I’ve got all black but like the look of the red ones, keep debating whether or not to import some red Packout Drawers as were not getting any in the UK until about September so I’m told now!
