Pocket hole jigs work by drilling a precisely angled hole in a piece of wood, resulting in a secure and concealed joint. The jig is made up of a guide block and a drill bit. The guide block is clamped against the wood, and the drill bit is used to create the hole at the correct angle. After drilling the hole, a screw is inserted through the hole and into the adjacent piece of wood, forming a strong and invisible joint.
Using pocket-hole joints is so simple they can be built in just a few steps - drill, drive, and you're done!
