Very useful, simple instructions and examples - exactly what we need. Plus the high quality humour helps a lot 🤣
😂....Thanks Donnie! Glad you liked it mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Probably the best pocket hole joinery video I’ve seen, I really think this type of joinery allows anyone wanting to make something a chance to create it with minimal cost & maximum accuracy.
Cheers Big Fella! Glad you liked it mate 👍😁🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🍺🍺
Put in 'how to decide where to put pocket holes' in my search, yours popped up and I spent the next 8:54 watching. EXACTLY what I was looking for. Subscripted immediately. Thank you.
Fantastic! Thanks for that John and welcome aboard mate 👍🇦🇺😁
Like a new pirate, guess who still has two legs, two arms, two eyes and all their fingers? ME, a newbie woodworker!! Love your videos Shane!!!
😂....that's always encouraging Don 👍 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
a pirate who still has both arms and legs is a smart pirate !
I’m an absolute beginner and these fails you have showed actually happend to me. Finally I can stop wondering and turning my brain upside down and start woodworking. Thank you very much for another eye opener lesson. It turned so much lights on in my chandelier that the room is very bright 😂
Awesome! Glad you found the video useful mate 👍😁🇦🇺
C'mon, u-tube is overfilled with pocket hole videos. Not all as good, but the info is there to be extracted.
Say, that bit calling for a drill, not a driver, was a revelation that had me sit up and pay attention. Thanks, Shane!
No worries at all Rick 👍 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
I learned something today❤ty

thanks for the tips mister knuckle
No worries mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Some more great tips Uncle Knackers
👍😁...Thanks David! 👍😁🇦🇺
Good points. Might want to also cover using the correct LENGTH screws for appropriate thickness of board. The types of screws available are more than you showed. The screw (on the right) that you showed which was the course thread, also comes in fine threads with the same type head. Just a thought. Keep on truckin!
👍😁....Cheers Mitch 👍 Yeah there was a lot more stuff that l could have added but you only have limited time to keep people engaged. Thanks for the feedback 👍😁🇦🇺
As always, Uncle Knackers this video was filled with excellent tips. I the look of that jig hanging on the wall. (and thanks for the cool Dad Joke) I stopped the video and shared it with a few lucky friends!

Uncle Knackers coming through with the goods again! Was primed to buy my first pocket hole jig, this video came out, I watched it and excitedly bought one. First screw I did, I just blasted through the corner and sent it into the other piece of wood, came back and watched again with the torque setting and pulse, some beautiful and solid pocket joints, cheers knackers!
Cheers Troy! Glad you got that sorted mate and all the best with the jig 👍😁🇦🇺
awesome informations
No worries mate! Thanks for taking the time to watch 👍😁🇦🇺
Love this guy. Just subscribed to the channel

Thanks for your video, Cheers
No worries mate 👍Thanks for taking the time to watch 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads Yes I've had the pocket hole experience but you do have some good tips for beginners!!
That was a super informative video, dude and will definitely help those who are just starting out!
Thanks Andy! Appreciate the feedback mate 👍😁
Great tips as always Shane. The only thing I'd add is that if you are someone like me, who started out using the cheaper, portable / mobile pocket hole jigs, then the face clamp is not just useful, IT'S A MUST. Mobile pocket hole jigs are notorious for moving unless well clamped when drilling and the face clamp jig makes light work of this. Strongly recommended for those using mobile jigs.
Yep good point Anthony 👍👍 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
I mounted the jig on a small piece of 3/4” plywood with screws and now I clamp or screw the plywood down.
Yes! After I learned to offset the joint a bit to account for the movement from rotation from the pieces, I now realize how ridiculous it all was. Oh well!
Thanks!
Hey Frank...thanks for the donation mate! Really appreciate it mate 👍😁🇦🇺👍👍👍👍
Video aside, it's great to see you on the Tube again. Goes without saying, love the video. Haven't seen that brand of jig before though .... I have the Kreg 720. Good jig, but I think the K5 was a better one. Should have kept it. Cheers and hope to see you in October, mate. 👍🍺🍺
You'll see me there for sure mate 👍 The jig is from Massca....it's a seriously good jig....highly recommended! Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Thanks Unk! Looking to get into pocket hole jigs to make bee hives. Great info!
No worries at all Pat.....good luck with the Bee Hives 👍😁🇦🇺
Uncle, thank you for sparking a new hobby please keep up the good work. Love it Top man💯
👍😁....Cheers mate! Appreciate the comment 👍😁🇦🇺
Get out of my head. Just this week I have been looking into trying out pocket joinery.
Your video also provides very good info that I haven’t seen any other pocket hole videos, and I’ve watched a lot of them in the last 7 days.
Thanks mate.
That's awesome! Hope you got something out of it Marcel and thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Very nice video with an extremely nice and humorous narrator.
I subscribed mainly because of the gentleman's pleasant attitude and knowledge.
Welcome aboard George! Really appreciate the feedback mate and thanks for taking the time to watch. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
Love me some pocket holes. Nice one KNACKERS!!!
Cheers mate!! 👍😁🇦🇺
zomg I wish I had found this channel before! your explanation of the drill/driver torque settings and what that means in practical terms i.e. you could stop it by hand... this understanding could have saved me a lot of hassle 😂😂 thanks for creating and sharing! 🙏
No worries at all Stephanie....glad you found the vid useful 👍😁🇦🇺
Every jig system has its own s set it 😤your video is spot on
👍👍
Funny delivery and useful info god bless you jesus loves you brother
Thank you very much Sam! Appreciate the feedback mate 👍😁🇦🇺
THANKS TO YOU I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A POOL TABLE FOR MY OFFICE USE
Awesome! Hope it went ok mate 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads o yess
Brilliant video for us beginners Shane - subscribed immediately after hearing the bad dad joke! Just starting using pocket holes and this tells me everything I need to know in simple layman's terms. Thanks
No worries mate and welcome aboard! I hope you can stick around for many more videos to come. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
Glad to see you brother!!! Cheers from the other side of the pond!!!
G'day Frank! Good to hear from you mate and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads you have pateron?
@@frankstoverpurebloodsaltya6441 Unfortunately l don't Frank....
@diyforknuckleheads dang.. well I'll just buy merch.. I would rather support you monthly.. we will figure it out..blessings to you and the wife...
Thanks.
You're welcome mate 👍 Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Having recently found your channel, I have to say your videos are brilliant and very informative for a woodworking beginner like me. Looking forward to making your wall mounted table. Keep the videos coming and thanks. The jokes aren't that bad 🤣
😂....Cheers Paul! Good luck with the bench mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Great tips. I didn't know about the threads. Worth mentioning too is to use screws that are flat under the head and not tapered. When I bought my first very simple Wolfcraft Undercover Jig they included sample screws that were all tapered which is ridiculous. If you tighten the screw to har the wood will crack. I had looked at videos similar to this one and knew not to use them but it is insulting really. I wrote to wolfcraft complaining about it but never even got an answer.
Yeah that's ridiculous Mat.....not sure why they would have done that 🤔 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Even though I consider myself pretty adept at using pocket hole joinery, I never miss one of your videos. They are nice little handy refresher courses for me to view. Heck you could make a video on how to use Silly Putty properly and I would probably watch it. Great video as always. Thanks!
BTW I have that same jig and a few others, and that Massca Pocket Hole Jig is a real tank. Well built, and should last a lifetime.
Cheers Gregg! Appreciate the feedback mate and you're right.....the Massca is an awesome Pocket Hole Jig.....built to last for sure 👍😁🇦🇺
😂 I still love ❤️ the Dad jokes. 😅
😂😂.....Thanks Henry! Glad you liked it mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Happy Father's Day Guys!!! I love this video! It's full of info! I added it to my 'House' library! Thank you, Sean! Ps: I don't understand the Dad Joke. But that's 0k...I'm not a Dad!! 🙄🤣
Thanks Sandi! OK, I'll walk you through the gag.....most pirates who have been around for a while either have a wooden leg, a patch over one eye and a hook for a hand....hence, a pirate with all his appendages must be a beginner 😂
@@diyforknuckleheads 🤣🤣 Ooohhhh!! DUH!! 🤣🤣🤣 TY!
@@SandiRose2008 😂
Nice one Shane, i need to get one of those face clamps, i reckon they could come in handy for loads of jobs.
Yeah Mark, l highly recommend them mate...very handy 👍😁🇦🇺
Nice to see yu back again Shane, your feeling well?
All good thanks mate 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads ideal glad everything is ok👍👍
@@AG-cc1mg Cheers mate 👍
i thought this mite have been click bait there Uncle Knackers, im thinkin pocket holes?! shit im always getting them from screwdrivers, etc. point down and then i lose all my fortune thru them, i was hopin for a remedy that was cheap, effective and scalable.. LOLOL , good as always UK.
Hahahhaha.....thanks mate 👍
Great stuff Knackers! I'm only a DIY'er and didn't even know that pocket hole joinery was a thing!
How would you fill the pocket hole after screwing? ... Just using wood filler?
Cheers mate 👍 You can actually buy pocket hole specific plugs if you ever need to fill the hole 👍👍
@@diyforknuckleheads What a genius system! Thanks.
The dad joke made me hit “Subscribe” 😂 thanks Mate
Keep’n coming
Cheers mate! Glad you liked it 😂
Great video, Shane. Are You ready for a kicking in the ashes?😂😂😂🏴🇦🇺
Thanks Mick! OK.....the ashes 🤔 You guys are off to a good start but don't write us off just yet! Gotta say, that ball from Ali that bowled Greene was off the charts!! Cheers mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Ashes 1st test end of day 5 - Aussies 1 😁 Poms 0 😢
@Toni-oy5gu fair play and congrats. Exiting stuff, let's hope the rest of the series is as good. 🏴🇦🇺
@@mickcawley4797 Cracking finish Mick and l gotta say you turned on the weather apart from the last day 👍☀☀
I found only one mention somewhere on Kreg's instructions or videos suggesting to use an electric drill to drill the pocket holes because it rotated at 2500 RPM. Most cordless drill run at about 1600 to 1800 RPM. I always use the electric drill for pocket holes or dowel holes. Try it, you'll be amazed.
👍
I've just purchased a pocket whole jig and I'll get them clamps never used them before so see how it goes I'm laughing at ur jokes more now as I didn't register the first time of listening.. good on ya m8 good to watch u. I've watched some others but can see u got experence
👍😁.....Cheers mate! Glad you found the vid useful and good luck with the jig 👍👍
For those who really want to avoid the joint creep and want a stronger pocket-hole joint - and have the budget. . . Consider the Castle pocket-hole cutters. The Castle 110 is the least expensive (but not at all cheap) and will give you a 3-degree angle rather than the more typical 15-degree - and that is a good thing.
I've had a pocket hole jig sitting in my closet for 3 years unable and I'm a big chicken when it comes to am I doing it right. Well chicken no more after this video I feel confident that I can now use my pocket hole jig. Great joke gave me a laugh for the morning 😂
Thanks for that Nancy 👍😁 Glad you found the vid useful and good luck with the jig 👍😁🇦🇺
Rofl!!! Beginner! I get it. Clever indeed
😂....Thanks mate 👍
Just found your 10yr old video on drywall anchors, your vid was one of the first to come up... Just wanted to give you an FYI
Thanks for that Martin 👍👍 Yep 10 years on and still being watched 😂
This was soooo useful, thank you. Do you know of any screws that work other than Kreg? They are hard to find, and I need some fine thread and it's a special order at bunnings, wonder whether you use any alternatives or know of any? Thanks so much for your content, it's gold!
miles craft also sells pocket holes.
Kracker video knacker -Ive always been leery of these jigs
Cheers Tony! 👍😁
Great video Shane. Honestly I didn't realize what the different screw threads were all about. Those 90 degree kreg clamps are amazing for holding the wood together for pocket screws aren't they?
Cheers Michael! Yeah mate, those clamps are a game changer 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads 🥳
Great tips. I’ll definitely be getting some clamps and using your drilling techniques. Thanks.
What do you think about gluing the joints?
Cheers mate and yes.....glue is a great idea 👍😁🇦🇺
Ahhh the good old pocket hole jig 😊
Just bought one of your t-shirts Shane, you should mention them in your videos, I didn’t realise you had them.
Do you have any plans for caps?
Yes mate....another pocket hole video 😂 Thanks for buying some merch too.....much appreciated!! I really want to sell caps but for some reason l can't get them 🤔
the video is good but is missing a very important part, all the poket hole jigs have a hight ajustment and i do not know exsatly when to ajust the hight, i was hoping that Uncle Nick explain that in this video.
I need that right angle clamp that fits in the pocket hole to secure the joint whilst putting the screw in the other pocket hole.
That clamp is awesome Frederic! Highly recommend it 👍👍
Someones invested some money Getting into the old Pocket hole jointing hey mate ...lol ........Excelant tutorial :) Lets catchup ...BTW read ya Voice mails 🤣🤣🤣
Yes mate....going to the dark side 😂 Thanks for watching mate and l'll give you a call 👍👍😁🇦🇺
I am frightened off by cost mate. But a good video, as they all are. Hope Sawtell is doing the right thing by you. I can't help thinking Uncle Knackers when I drive past.
Sawtell's going great mate! The weather has been amazing so no complaints here Col 😁👍 Thanks for watching 😁🇦🇺👍
Shane on your drill you have 3 settings, hammer, screw, drill what is the difference in the screw and drill settings, is that the clutch will kick in sooner of the screw setting?
Yep....spot on mate 👍
