As a 20 year old who just started buying tools and doing basic wood working I’m very grateful you are starting this series. I’ve been learning pretty much everything I know so far from your channel and other TH-camrs but from what I’ve seen there are not enough people going over the basics. Thank you for your amazing content much appreciated.
@@AnIrishExportyes exactly this. And too often for those that are fairly new to woodworking others just assume they are familiar with "the basics" and will skip right over them when explaining something.
As a guy who is just getting into woodworking, I love the idea of the “back to the basics” series. Any instruction in tools and techniques is helpful when you have never used them before.
I learned a mistake I was making with pocket holes just by watching this. I think the back to the basics series would be awesome for those of us that are still new to woodworking and also be a refresher for those that have done it a while. Keep up the good work!!! #KentuckyStrong
Thank you from an old grannie that is trying to make her own Kitchen cabinets ( but everything is in Chinese) not understanding how to properly use a “Jig” and especially the nail size you have given me so much information that is so useful and saving me plywood material, thank you once again and Please do continue to have more videos for dummies like me
Awesome video. I have to admit guilt with the impact driver and I don’t know why I haven’t thought of the common sense behind it. Great videos man, you’re the one that sparked my interest in woodworking and it’s helped tremendously with a lot of mental health related issues from the military. Keep up the good work!!
My Dad was a Command Sargent Major in the United States Army. He was in WW two, Korean and two tours in Vietnam. Love you Dad and I thank him for teaching me how to use tool's. I miss him . He sure would have loved All of the new tools we have now. 🇺🇸
Hey Zach! Thanks and I too have to admit that I typically use an impact... but I started with a drill and set the torque. After a while, you can "hear" the stopping point with an impact... I guess I've memorized the number of torque clicks lol. And your story is one of the reasons I do what I do... I have always used woodworking as my own place to focus all of my thoughts on what I'm working on... and then the feeling of accomplishment when you take "nothing" and make "something". I'm a huge supporter of mental health support as well as the military. If you know of any veterans woodworking groups send them my way. Thank you for your comment and a huge thank you for your service!
Absolutely loved this. Everything explained so clearly. Finally found something on how to do the T joint using two different sizes of material. Thank you so much.
Yup... I was completely flying blind with pocket holes. Didn't have any idea what I was doing... lol! This helps immensely... and being a new woodworker I think a series of 'back to basics' is just perfect. Because I need to learn the basics! Thanks Matt - it is why I support your channel! 🤠
Whats up Cowboy_Steve! I just noticed who that message was from. Glad and helped and make sure to check out the full video... I go into even more detail. Thanks so much for supporting the channel! I'm thinking about doing some live streams on Patreon so people can ask questions as I go over a tool.
just started woodworking as a 42yo woman with a husband who is even more clueless than me. So thank you for the back to basics video! I just discovered you a few days ago, and I love your videos! Have you made a table saw or miter saw back to basics video yet? That series would make a great playlist, so that they are easy to find.
I am 67 and finally learning basic wood work. My son gave me a Kreg tool but I didn’t know what to do with it except put it away. This is a good video.
I literally bought the 720 yesterday and was looking for a good basics video. Great information and easily digestible. Thanks brother! Love this channel!!!
Thank you! My husband passed and I have all his tools. I’m learning, slowly, how to do house repairs, etc. and I am clueless! There is no place to learn these things for someone who already has a career and no time to get a technical woodworking degree where this would be taught.
I love these types of videos where they start off with the reason you clicked and then, Hello everyone here is my life story before I deliver the simple information you came for.
Oh this was an awesome type of video. Hands on and TONS of examples demonstrating your topics with follow-up explanations. Add this type of series to your arsenal. Very effective!
I love all of your videos, Matthew, but this one answered so many questions I had regarding pocket holes! Thanks for all the inspiration you bring to this channel!
Just getting into woodworking and I had never heard of pocket holes let alone how to do them. Your back to basic series is perfect for me. I plan to watch them all so Thank you Peech
Thant you for making this video. A friend bought me that big Kreg gig as a retirement gift. I’ve tried to read and reread the instructions but I am a visual learner so this video has been great. Thank you!
I don't care what you are doing or how long you have been doing it. It is always helpful to go back and review the basics. You could go around your shop grab a different tool each week, just keep keep cranking them out and I would watch all of them. Thank you.
Thank you Matthew! Very informative video. Keep doing these. I think a lot of creators start off remembering what it's like to be new and then forget as they get more and more income. Most people searching TH-cam woodworking are needing knowledge. The pros are not your core audience. Thank you for recognizing this!
In reference to your box joint at the 7:21 mark, Kreg recommends that the pocket screws go in from the outside for a stronger joint. That way the screws are not going toward the edge of the wood where there is a possibility of them splitting out.
I am glad that someone mentioned it. As soon as I saw the weak joint he made by doing it that way, I close the video. This is basic knowledge and he is teaching it wrong. Hopefully he would see your comment and explain.
My son has taken an interest in woodworking recently. I've done a little, but I'm not particularly knowledgeable about it -- I'd love to learn more along with him. I love your channel and the way you teach, so I'm really excited about a 'back to basics' series. I hope there's enough interest to make it worth your while!
It's always good to go back to the basics no matter how long you've done something to achieve anything brush up on something close to what you do on a daily basis to keep your skills sharp
“Kreg didn’t put those holes there...Peech put them there!” LOL I love how you referred to yourself in the third person. Love your videos. Thank you for explaining the proper usage of the pocket-hole jig.
I appreciate you making these back to the basic videos. I haven't done woodworking in 15 years. Now I have time I am starting to get back into it and of course still have to purchase tools too. Thanks again.
I like this idea because I've never done actual wood working, and I always have to ask my boyfriend for help, but he doesn't always do things the way I would like it done. This gives me a reference library to go to. I hope you put it in a playlist so it will always be easy to find the series. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I just bought a Kreg 520 and after watching this I think I'll finally make it be more than a cool paperweight! Great video as usual and thanks for the tips and tricks.
Well I've been pocketholing for about a year now "yes very much still a rookie" but out of all the pocket hole videos this is the one that finally made it all click 🤣 thank you!
I learned SO much from this video alone. From the types of screws to the way to use the pocket hole tool to begin with. Awesome Matt! Thanks for making these.
Hey Mr. Peech, I bought my fire kerg jig 30+ years ago and I’ve done my fair share of mistakes. But you showed me a few new ways to drill pocket holes.
Matt, you have got to be the coolest teacher person ever. Imma girl see..and I just want to get my fingers on some wood and make tons of stuff. You make it seem so simple. Thanks for the info videos. I am learning so much.
I love how you went over the screws in depth and which size to use for which size wood. Would love a video on the Kreg 320 which is the most affordable option out there!
I cannot express how much this new series would be appreciated! I learned so much in this video. I'll continue to comment, give a thumbs up and recommend your videos to others! Thank you so much
This gives a clear description about the use of pocket holes. With this knowledge, it is possible to create projects with confidence that you are using the correct procedure. Well done.
Thank you for doing a series on the basics. I had no idea how to use a pocket hole jig. Now i feel i can make more of your ideas, I have purchased plans that say to make pocket holes, but I didn't know how. Thank you so much! Love Your Videos!
Next to Norm and Tommy, I think I've learned more from Matthew lately than anyone else especially on pocket hole joinery. Thanks Matthew!! Much appreciated.
Please and thank you. We need more videos on basic woodworking skills. I’ve retired and built the woodworking shop I always wanted but I lack some of the skills. A big thank you for going past the marketing and get back to teaching.
Well made Matthew. I learned a lot about pocket hole joinery, a subject I thought I already knew a lot about! Please keep making these back to the basics videos.
Matt, I think that a back to basics series would be great especially if you include tips and tricks like running a countersink backwards to stop tear out in the begging and sliding your speed square up to the pencil to get a more accurate line.
Thank you so much! I love how you explain things without making people feel dumb. You should do a woodworking for "dummies" series showcasing tips and tricks for different tools and techniques.
Just letting you know, you're a huge inspiration! When I get off work thurs I will be buying a new table saw and getting to work! I have missed wood working from when I was younger and I've already got two ladies ready to buy chicnic tables this weekend! My wife already does sublimation and other things for people, I told her it's time we mix it with wood working. Crossing our fingers everything goes well! Thank you for reminding me of who much I miss working with wood.
Thank you, I just got mine delivered 5 days ago, can’t wait to use it, with your tutorials it will be easier to use it, I watch every one of you tutorials, thank you for sharing your knowledge ‼️
Appreciated the details with the pocket screw tool. It’s been a great tool for some of my projects, but I’ve questioned the screw size after drilling. I enjoy following you.
I"m finishing a project and using pocket holes for the first time. I had the little holes in the wood and the screws were blowing out the piece being attached. I realized on my last set of pocket holes that I had the depth set wrong by 1/4" and man did that change the outcome. I too, love the idea of a back to the basics video as I can really use them since I'm just getting started with wood working. Thanks for all you do.
Very helpful video. Just started getting in to basic woodworking. There are many different ways of customization and that’s why I love to try and build things cause you can picture it in your mind before you even start
Thanks so much Matt ! I am moving on to another chapter in life. Hanging up the wrenches and giving up the grease from building cars and motorcycles ! Looking foward to starting a side gig with your smalls and intend to ween myself from punching a clock and punching put smalls from the garage ! I think I should have a good market on the west coast of Florida! Keep them coming ! My first couple of sales will be killer ! I plan on 3 picket planter for my first ! Downloading the plans this weekend!
I'm not an experienced woodworker at all, but I'm pretty sure I spotted a 'mistake' at around @4:15. The direction of the screw should always point to the length of the material you're drilling into, not the shortest side. So in this case you would put the pocket holes on the other side of the material (and then fill them in with a dowel for aesthetics).
Love your concept of videos for what to do. I have been woodworking for some time and have found that I need better ideas, affirmation of present ideas, basics that I need to relearn and so much more. I have enjoyed your site, as you are a no nonsense teacher, upfront and don't rely on theatrics to get your point across. I love knowing about tools that work and the reminders on how to best use the tools we have, and new tools that make things easier as well teaching the do's and don't about the tools we have. A BIG YES TO THIS CONCEPT.
Love your teaching style. You should start a woodworking class. I have been tyring to understand the different screw and appreciated the link you provided, but your taching was even better. Thanks you sir,. Love the shop and the awesome projects in the background. Awesome.
Awesome! I am fixing to build a toddler tower for my grand baby. I was stuck as how to put the pocket holes in the rear angled legs. Now, I know! Thanks again.
Matthew Peech. I really appreciate the lesson in this video. I have recently started learning about woodworking, and have invested in a Kreg 520 jig. Please, keep the lessons coming, you are doing a great service to those of us who are interested in woodworking, but are complete novices. Thank you very much, sir! Looking forward to the next one!
I do like you breaking everything down and getting back to the basics. You cover stuff that alot of us have forgotten, and what many newbies need to advance their own skills!!
Not there yet but am exploring the possibility of getting one. Getting ready to start selling the 40 plus planters of many different shapes and sizes thanks to you and other you tubers.
My favorites are the K-3 & the K-5. Been using them for almost 20 years now. Most of my shop boxes were put together with pocket holes. I've put together and fixed a ton of drawers with my small screw drilling guide as well. The drill bits are so cheap, that it's worth buying and presetting the depths on different bits. Every time I start up a run for drilling holes, I check to make sure I have the right bit by setting the guides depth, and then dropping in the bit I'm going to use to make sure It sits correctly. I als cut a small length of hose off to slip over the dust hood so I can connect my vacuum to it. It's all mounted to a piece of plywood that I clamp down to my MFT/3 work bench. Great system if you don't over tighten the and strip the screw holes (spinners). There's a fix for that. Drill a through hole and drive a 3/8" dowel through it and make it a feature.
A most excellent video. I was trying to drill a 2X4 piece of wood into a 3/4 inch plywood. Learned that I need to set my pocket hole jig to the 3/4 inch setting. BTW, I also put a small hole through my jig just before watching your video. Dang! Thanks again.
Your channel is just perfect for anyone doing wood projects. I stumbled across your channel researching a project and now I'm hooked. You are my go-to resource on woodworking projects or tool reviews. I appreciate your time and effort in helping us novice figure things out. Subscribed, saved, took screenshots, took notes hah

@@johnnyelectric4844 will do thanks
Great to hear! Keep up the good work and hopefully I can get some more basic instructional videos out.
If you haven't yet, you should check out Steve Ramsey - Woodworking For Mere Mortals. He has a great intro series
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking thanks man!
The basics are so important, no matter how long you’ve been doing something.
So true, if you cant get the basics right, then nothing is going to work out the way you expect it too
@@AnIrishExportyes exactly this. And too often for those that are fairly new to woodworking others just assume they are familiar with "the basics" and will skip right over them when explaining something.
As a guy who is just getting into woodworking, I love the idea of the “back to the basics” series. Any instruction in tools and techniques is helpful when you have never used them before.

Glad it helped. Thanks for the support.
I agree! I have never made pocket hole before, back to the basics would help me too!
I agree!
I am just starting out in woodworking and would love a back to the basics video on pocket holes would really help me.
I have never used Pocket holes. The basics would be awesome
I'm finding this video 3 years after it was posted and it's still relevant! What a Peech of a deal😊!
Thank you from an old grannie that is trying to make her own Kitchen cabinets ( but everything is in Chinese) not understanding how to properly use a “Jig” and especially the nail size you have given me so much information that is so useful and saving me plywood material, thank you once again and Please do continue to have more videos for dummies like me
Awesome video. I have to admit guilt with the impact driver and I don’t know why I haven’t thought of the common sense behind it. Great videos man, you’re the one that sparked my interest in woodworking and it’s helped tremendously with a lot of mental health related issues from the military. Keep up the good work!!

Back to basics is always a good idea. Even if “you know everything about . . . “ you probably could pick up something useful. Excellent idea.
Very true! Thank you.
You are the man when it comes to teaching the rest of us ways to make money woodworking, and I think a series on the basics is a great idea as well

@@MatthewPeechWoodworking Bought two of your blueprints while at work! I'm getting pumped! Two ladies already want a chicken picnic table!
Great video clear and concise. Filled in some areas not covered by other videos on this topic . Thank you
First time using pocket holes and you made it so easy to understand. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you, I just got mine delivered 5 days ago, can’t wait to use it, with your tutorials it will be easier to use it, I watch every one of you tutorials, thank you for sharing your knowledge ‼️
Appreciated the details with the pocket screw tool. It’s been a great tool for some of my projects, but I’ve questioned the screw size after drilling. I enjoy following you.
Love this basic instruction video. Please make more like one on using dowel pins
Thanks for the suggestion
I"m finishing a project and using pocket holes for the first time. I had the little holes in the wood and the screws were blowing out the piece being attached. I realized on my last set of pocket holes that I had the depth set wrong by 1/4" and man did that change the outcome. I too, love the idea of a back to the basics video as I can really use them since I'm just getting started with wood working. Thanks for all you do.
Very helpful video. Just started getting in to basic woodworking. There are many different ways of customization and that’s why I love to try and build things cause you can picture it in your mind before you even start
Thanks so much Matt ! I am moving on to another chapter in life. Hanging up the wrenches and giving up the grease from building cars and motorcycles ! Looking foward to starting a side gig with your smalls and intend to ween myself from punching a clock and punching put smalls from the garage ! I think I should have a good market on the west coast of Florida! Keep them coming ! My first couple of sales will be killer ! I plan on 3 picket planter for my first ! Downloading the plans this weekend!
Back to basics is a great idea.And pocket holes is a great starter
Thank you for sharing this information! I was always hesitant about the screws . Especially uses two thickness types of wood attaching together.
My pleasure!
Very nice job in explaining how valuable the versatility of the jig👍
Thank you!
I'm not an experienced woodworker at all, but I'm pretty sure I spotted a 'mistake' at around @4:15. The direction of the screw should always point to the length of the material you're drilling into, not the shortest side. So in this case you would put the pocket holes on the other side of the material (and then fill them in with a dowel for aesthetics).
Very useful! Not only on how to use but also which jig will best fit my needs... thanks Peach ! Love your videos 👍
I’m still a novice so the “Back to Basics” is great learning material! However, even advanced folks can use a refresher from time to time. Thanks! 😊
Love your concept of videos for what to do. I have been woodworking for some time and have found that I need better ideas, affirmation of present ideas, basics that I need to relearn and so much more. I have enjoyed your site, as you are a no nonsense teacher, upfront and don't rely on theatrics to get your point across. I love knowing about tools that work and the reminders on how to best use the tools we have, and new tools that make things easier as well teaching the do's and don't about the tools we have. A BIG YES TO THIS CONCEPT.
Love your teaching style. You should start a woodworking class. I have been tyring to understand the different screw and appreciated the link you provided, but your taching was even better. Thanks you sir,. Love the shop and the awesome projects in the background. Awesome.
Awesome! I am fixing to build a toddler tower for my grand baby. I was stuck as how to put the pocket holes in the rear angled legs. Now, I know! Thanks again.
Fantastic video and some great tips that will help me, and others, to avoid costly and disappointing mistakes. Thanks you very much. Mike
Matthew Peech. I really appreciate the lesson in this video. I have recently started learning about woodworking, and have invested in a Kreg 520 jig. Please, keep the lessons coming, you are doing a great service to those of us who are interested in woodworking, but are complete novices. Thank you very much, sir! Looking forward to the next one!
You're a good man Matthew Peech. I love your videos.
I do like you breaking everything down and getting back to the basics. You cover stuff that alot of us have forgotten, and what many newbies need to advance their own skills!!
Great video! I’m a novice and this is the type of content I’m looking for.
Not there yet but am exploring the possibility of getting one. Getting ready to start selling the 40 plus planters of many different shapes and sizes thanks to you and other you tubers.
Best of luck! You’ve got this!
My favorites are the K-3 & the K-5. Been using them for almost 20 years now. Most of my shop boxes were put together with pocket holes. I've put together and fixed a ton of drawers with my small screw drilling guide as well. The drill bits are so cheap, that it's worth buying and presetting the depths on different bits. Every time I start up a run for drilling holes, I check to make sure I have the right bit by setting the guides depth, and then dropping in the bit I'm going to use to make sure It sits correctly. I als cut a small length of hose off to slip over the dust hood so I can connect my vacuum to it. It's all mounted to a piece of plywood that I clamp down to my MFT/3 work bench. Great system if you don't over tighten the and strip the screw holes (spinners). There's a fix for that. Drill a through hole and drive a 3/8" dowel through it and make it a feature.
Thanks Matt! Answered a lot of my questions regarding pocket holes…..
Great to hear!
Kreg has stepped up their game!! Makes pocket holes easy
A most excellent video. I was trying to drill a 2X4 piece of wood into a 3/4 inch plywood. Learned that I need to set my pocket hole jig to the 3/4 inch setting. BTW, I also put a small hole through my jig just before watching your video. Dang! Thanks again.
Your channel is just perfect for anyone doing wood projects. I stumbled across your channel researching a project and now I'm hooked. You are my go-to resource on woodworking projects or tool reviews. I appreciate your time and effort in helping us novice figure things out. Subscribed, saved, took screenshots, took notes hah
Thank you, this was exactly what I needed to give me confidence for my pocket hole joinery.
