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.
i have used a jig saw a skill saw and a orbital sander for years making thousands of dollars look into mill scraps called slab wood its next to free
@@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!
As someone just getting into this hobby, we greatly appreciate these beginner videos. Please make more!
I'm finding this video 3 years after it was posted and it's still relevant! What a Peech of a deal😊!
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 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 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
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
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
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! 🤠
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
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.
i'm self taught and go on intuition and trial and error and would really appreciate back to the basics channel. thanks for the inspiration
''Those were put there by Peech'' great content. thank you
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.
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!!
God bless you and Thank You for your service. I come from a military family 🇺🇸
Thats awesome ! Glad to hear it.
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. 🇺🇸
@@theearthauger thank you, and to yours as well!
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!
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
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.
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.
Yay for my sister woodworkers!! :-)
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.
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.
I think a back to basics Playlist would be very helpful. I'm in 👋
“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.
😁 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
Thank you!
Yes please!!! And honestly I’ve been struggle with a cross cut sled… so maybe a video on that!
Can do! cross cut sleds are so easy to make and most channels put wayyyy too many unneeded things on them.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking … yes and seems ti make it way more complicated than need be… thank you!
Back to the Basics is a great idea. A video on Router Basics would be appreciated.
Great suggestion! Thank you.
I learned tons, thank you.. All I can say is WOW
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.
A back to basics series is a great idea. But honestly, I'll watch any videos you post, I learn something new every time.
Thank you!
Hi, Peech! I feel much better knowing that you drilled a hole through your 520 on the first use because I did the exact same thing my first time! I felt so stupid at the time.
I like the back to the basics idea, you should create a full series or maybe a new channel with this content.
This is by far the best and most informative video I have seen in regard to using a pocket hole jig and that includes those made by the manufacturers. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
I literally bought the 720 yesterday and was looking for a good basics video. Great information and easily digestible. Thanks brother! Love this channel!!!
Perfect timing! Thanks for watching.
Wow thank you. I’ve searched for ages to find basic instruction in pocket holes, thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you Peech. Even though I've been using Creig Pockel Hole jigs and screws for years, I believe this video is for everyone. My question is what about the woodworkers using the entry level jigs that use the clamp to hold the jig to the wood? Those woodworkers may be the most benefited by your back to basics teaching videos. BUT KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU ARE DOING. I'm trying to watch every video you have produced! Old dogs need taught something new or reminded of something we already knew.
Just from looking at the thumbnail on this video, you sir, have put in so much range time, you even hold that jig like you’re about to squeeze off some rounds. 😂
Bahaha. My forms a lil off.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking it’s a bit of a fat grip on it. That’d throw anyone’s form off lol.
Such a wonderful video... Im still learning screw sizes etc... but so far, I live my Kregg Pocket hole jig
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.
Back to the basics is classic and very important even as little reminders ..
Yes please continue with back to the basics. I’m a GREEN beginner, so this series will be very helpful for me!!
Excellent ideas on basics. I never learned how to properly use my jig, so thanks
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!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
I am laughing SO hard right now!!! Got my first 720 pro and first drill out of the box, I put a freaking hole in it like you did. Too funny
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.
Awesome! Thank you!
Finally pulled the trigger and bought a 520. Had to rewatch this video a few times (again). Thanks Peech.
I just bought a Kreg Jig, thank you. :)
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!
Matthew, thank you SO much for showing the holes in your jig. I thought I was the only one who had ever done that.
Lol it seems several of us have!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking ,
Hey that ain't no mistake, it's a dang relief hole for shavings 🤔🤣
You make it all so simple. Sometimes I just want to say “of course! Why didn’t I think of that!” Practical and clear advice.
I love your videos. You just jump right into the teaching, you don’t spend half the time telling us how great you are or what you had for lunch or what’s your dogs name is. Then again it might be nice to know the dogs name is but not the rest.
Lol thanks! And the dog is Dexter 😂
This is definitely a great series.
As someone new to woodworking, and totally digging your current vids, that new series would be AWESOME!
Awesome, thank you!
Great video. I've been doing it all wrong!
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.
Thank you!
That was a very useful tutorial on pocket holes. Thanks!
Yes. Thank you for us folks just learning!
U R 1 of my favorites. I know nothing so the way you explain things is so great. Love a basics video as I need all the help I can get.
Wow! Thank you!
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!
Thank you!
As I just mentioned on the Kreg page, this is one of the best pokcet hole explanation video I have seen. Great work Matthew! New sub!
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks man this was very useful!!
THANK YOU for this video! You answered all my questions :)
Glad it was helpful!
Back to basics is a great idea.And pocket holes is a great starter
I am new to your channel and love them all. I just bought my Kreg 720 and was so excited when I saw you had made a "how to" video. Thank you!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I've been putting off using my pocket hole joinery for lack of understanding. THANK YOU!!!
Of course!
That is a wonderful idea. Everyone needs a refresher course.
Extra info is always a good thing right?
Love this back to basic series! Thank you!!!
You are the man. I have been messing up pocketholes for years
Hope these instructions can help!
Since covid my plan has to finally use some of the tools I have acquired over the years...my 'retirement dream'.. I think your idea of another series would be very helpful.
Kreg has stepped up their game!! Makes pocket holes easy
Love that Banksy in the background!
I'd love to see a back to the basics channel. That way little kids and I can feel comfortable with using tools. I only got 1 year of shop class before my school cut it, but I knew if I'd had even another year of it, I'd have gotten into the trades once I turned 18 and I'd have been making a heck of alot more money than I am now.
Has to be the most informative and easily understood video for diy that I have seen! Amazing and much appreciated!!! Thank you and look forward to watching more of your posts/videos. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
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
Yes!
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!
This was an awesome video, thank you! Back to basics!!!!! LET'S GOOO
You have become one of my go-to woodworking guys. I love what you do so anything you want to do is fine by me.
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!
Glad to help! Thanks for the support.
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.
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.
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!
Glad it was helpful!
Now you jinxed me. I have no holes in my Kreg. YET! 😅😂
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!
Thanks! Will do!
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.
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.
I would love for you to continue making videos like this, thank you!
Hey Man !! Ain’t seen ya in a while Peech !! Glad you’re back !! Ya know I’ve been retired since 17, so about 6 years and I was doin a lot of wood workin projects but got bored and got into blade smithing!! Well now I’m bored with that so I decided to make some tool storage boxes , really rollaway tool boxes and I’ve been watchin the pocket hole joinery stuff that’s out there but your clip as always is the most explanatory and easiest to understand!! Thanks again for that !! I really already had a fixture for that but got schooled on the correct type of screws to use , thanks again!! Ok man I’m out , again glad to see you’re back !! Git it on !!!
Thanks for the great tips. I’m getting ready to start a project that will use a lot of pocket holes.
I am loving the idea of back to the basics.
Thanks.
New to the channel yours is one of the most helpful useful channels. There is out there it was a no brainer to subscribe. You definitely got me thinking. Been in the garage making stuff.😂👍😉
Thanks and welcome!
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.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching.
Wow. Thanks. An insane amount of information.
Great information brother !!
You know what you're doing and earned a sub for it.
I'm binge watching your channel between hockey games.
Cheers Mate !
Nice! Thanks for the follow!
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
Thank you!
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! 😊
the screw length is based on the thickness of the material you’re screwing into… wow lol. thank you SO MUCH, man.
Love the thought of back to the basics.
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.
Thanks for the informative video, Peech! I just bought a basic Kreg pocket hole jig and now I'm wishing I had invested the extra $$ into the 520. Maybe on Black Friday? The first few pocket holes I made were a hot mess, so this video helped immensely. I'll keep practicing on scrap wood till I get it right. 🔨 💃🏼
Thank you for this.
I do not use pocket holes often.
General knowledge always helps.
You bet!
thank you! I appreciate your videos.
I think the back to the basics is a great idea.
Thanks for the input!
Very useful! Not only on how to use but also which jig will best fit my needs... thanks Peach ! Love your videos 👍
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.
Great!
Thank you, u take the scary out of it, for 1st timers
