Pocket Hole Jig Station. DIY. Cheap and Simple

DIY Pocket Hole Jig System. Cheap and Simple .

Hello!

Today i will show you how to make quick and easy Pocket Hole Jig Station. Pocket holes are one of many methods of joining wood together. It uses the simplest of joinery- right angle cuts mostly, and relies on the mechanical strength of screws to hold an assembly together. Although glue is sometimes used to augment it, the screws themselves do most of the work.

Original kreg jigs are very expensive. My project will allow you to save lots of money and you can spend them for some other tools. Besides the jig can be dismounted and used freely about the workpiece.
