Home made pocket hole jig

[Alan Tolchinsky]

Hi All, I was reading ""The Pocket Hole Jig Project" by Danny Proulx in the bookstore and it contained a pocket hole jig the author made. It's a very interesting book and shows lots of projects using pocket holes. Here's my version as best I could remember from the book. It works great and is a lot better than what I was using.

Can't really tell how your jig is made, but it appears to be a "pocket Rocket" attached to a fence? If so, great idea! Should serve you very well!

Hi Jeff, It wasn't my idea; I stole it. Yep, that's all it is: I poly glued the small pocket rocket into the fence. The fence is 3/4" ply with some walnut surrounding the pocket hole jig. I planed the walnut until it was the exact depth of the pocket hole jig then I just glued and nailed it together. I had the toggle clamp on hand so I didn't have to buy that. Alan
