Wow, plain, informative and knowledgeable. And no meaningless sales pitch. Just talking knowledge and experience. Subscribed!!! Thanks! You made my morning coffee before work more relaxing!
Thanks for the kind words and the sub!
You covered exactly what I was looking for! Great video man
Glad it helped!
That was great - very quickly convinced me to use pocket holes on the cabinets I am about to begin. Thanks so much for the extensive demo and discussion
Great, glad it helped! Good luck on the cabinets!
I was weighing between box vs pocket hole for my cabinets. You convinced me to go for pocket hole. Thanks a lot.
Go for it. Good luck!
So informative, offering a multitude of joint options depending on the need. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Good job, congratulation, God bless you.
Nice and helpful video! Planning to build a plywood storage bench and information about different joinery types was exactly what I was looking for.
Glad it helped! Let me know if I could be of further help with anything.
Great video. My brother taught me how to make box joints years ago. I sew for a living and we made 48 boxes to store my scraps and supplies in. I also make leather goods. Each box has a lid and swing handles on bothsides. When i need something from a box, i have them labeled and just slide it out and get what need and slide it back. They are a bit heavy, but they are strong. I have had them for 30 years and still look great.
That is awesome! Making things that last is always a good thing, especially these days.
Perfect video. All killer, no filler.
Thank you!
This was just what I was looking for! Thanks!!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for sharing your skills and experience in this video. Although some of the methods are far beyond my novice woodworking abilities, this was extremely helpful for finishing my project. Appreciate the time and effort that went into posting this video. Keep sharing.
Great, glad to hear that it helped!
Great video! Exactly what I needed - Thanks, man!
Absolutely. Glad it helped.
Loved your video - I'm building out a van so super helpful to know my options. You've got a real presence on camera, amazing talking voice and the knowledge to bring it all together, keep 'em coming !
Thanks for the feedback! I usually post a new video each Sunday on random woodworking projects or topics but if you want a certain type of video, let me know!
Exactly what I was looking for and you made it so easy to understand
Great! Glad it helped!
Outstanding. Well done.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Thanks mate. Just wanted to knock together a frame for my Weber and gas bottle and haven’t worked with ply before.
Good luck!
thanks for keeping to the point. good stuff
Sure thing, thanks
such a good video, thanks!
Thanks!
Wannabe woodworker over in the WNC mountains near Murphy. Love these videos!
Keep killing it! Thanks!
Great stuff!
Thanks!
Great video. If the wood is flat and you have a rabbet bit for your router, I almost always go that way.
Absolutely. I end up using that method a lot as well!
Great video! Thanks! What joining method would you recommend for an obtuse angle like 120°? Thank you from Denmark!!
I would suggest either a splined-miter joint, biscuit joint, or dowel joint. Coat it heavily in glue and let fully dry!
As I binge-watch your videos, I just want to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Woodworking has always been a major weak area for me that I want to strengthen. Your videos will definitely help. By the way, if you need any tips on smoking meat, I'm your guy! 😉
Thank you for that!
Excellent, looking to build a simple little cabinet style box for my 3D printer - so I can keep resin warm for long prints. Didn't know you could do butt joins with ply, so that's a nice surprise, although I do kinda think maybe I might look at pocket holes if I choose to build it with ply vs pine planks. Cheers.
Great, good luck with the build!
@@RockyRiverWoodworks Cheers, do butt joints with screws work with 7mm ply?
@@MLaak86 They certainly can. I don't see why not. It might be hard to use screws though. And at that thickness, it may be difficult to get a strong glue adhesion to the "end grain" of the plywood for the joint since the surface area is so small. Worth a try though.
Great simple video. I’m doing a butt joint with two 1/2” pieces of plywood. How long should the screws for this be?
Frankly, as long as you want. Just watch to make sure they aren’t so thick that they blow out the 1/2” material. Shortest I would say is maybe 1.25” long.
Can I make a rabbet cut on 2 pieces of 3/4” plywood to join them using a router or would I have to switch to a table to make that cut? FYI I don’t have a table saw lol. I’m making a shelf using 3/4” plywood that’s 60” x 10” and slapping a 1x4 (3/4”) on the face of it
I've been planing on making some sort of portable case out of plywood, and was a little on the bends on how i would make it due to the size & probable weight. And finally figured it out thanks to you, greatly appreciate it!
Thanks! Glad it helped. Good luck on the case!
Rabbit, pocket, finger, butt. In that order. Got it.
Go for it!
Excellent you are clear to understand. I am creating a large shoe rack, i am using sanded 1/2" sanded plywood to cut for the sides and for the shelves.
My question is, what type of screw will be the best to use to attach the side to the shelves? Thanks
I would recommend glue and brad nails, or glue and wood screws in a butt-joint, or glue and pocket holes
@@RockyRiverWoodworks
I am making 96" x 14" with 15 shelves 6" apart I am afraid it will wiggle when used over time.
@@MuslimReplies You can try using more than 1 method per joint.
@@RockyRiverWoodworks
Thank you, i am building a shoe rack for a Masjid to be able to take 600 + shoes. wish me luck 🙂
Its join corners.... but very informative video thannk you so much!
Thanks for watching
Great, ty. What would be your option for a box on a cargobicycle?
I’m not sure what type of box you’re wanting to build but box joints are usually a very strong option.
@@RockyRiverWoodworks thx bud, appreciate it.
@@bigtonyakacashmoney you got it.
can you unscrew the screws and screw them back later in case you need to move the cabinet somewhere else and need to disassemble?
Sure, you could. As long as you don’t apply glue.
According to Google Bard, a box joint is a specific type of finger joint. Box joints are obviously for making boxes, finger joints can be used to lengthen wood, as well as make right-angle joints.
Accurate. You will see finger joints in trim/millwork many times.
Perfect information:
Pocket Joints for cabinets - that's exactly what I needed to know!
Thanks so much to you for your valuable time :)
No problem, glad it helped.
Thanks. I have been using pocket joinery with 3/4 inch plywood. I m planning to make cabinet with 3/4 inch for verticals to hold drawers. For actual drawers i m planning to use 1/2 inch. Can pocket joinery be used smaller screws?
I’ve never used pocket holes on 1/2” material. It may be able to be done, but my worry would be that there’s isn’t enough material on 1/2” material to give the screw something to “bite” into.
@@RockyRiverWoodworks thanks. I will simple joint with nails
@@gabbarsingh1948 go for it!
Thanks! Plywood joinery scares me. But finger vs box, my understanding is the width of them. Box being big, finger thinner.
agree. Box joints are normally thicker pieces than a finger joint.
Good presentation. My problem is a drawer build that specified 1/2" ply using pocket screws. But the nominal 1/2" ply measured only 11mm which Kregg said is too thin for pocket screws. But I already have the pieces cut. Now what?
I believe Kreg sells small 1" PH screws you could try. If not, potentially look at simply glue the box together for now. If that doesn't work, you may have to re-cut the pieces.
@@RockyRiverWoodworks Well too late. I already used N0. 0 biscuits and glued instead of screws. Next time I will use a caliper to measure plywood before I buy. Thanks for replying - much appreciated.
@@Rastameisterbest of luck!
6:55 Can't you also use them on fronts since they are covered by faces?
Absolutely. I do it all the time.
Wood screws will make a solid joint if they are screwed into edge grain??
They have given me fine results. Under extreme pressure they of course will fail, but when spread out evenly and many installed, they hold fine.
@@RockyRiverWoodworks I always thought edge grain was "weak" and didn't accept screws very well??
@@harrybrain8270 I agree. It’s not ideal. But if adding plenty of screws, many make light work and can hold fairly well if other options aren’t available
@@RockyRiverWoodworks Thank you sir
I’m by no means a wood guy. Been welding and fabricating for decades though. My question is can you use pocket holes on .5 inch plywood? Doesn’t seem like enough to grab on to.
I have been asked that many times before and quite honestly, I don't know. I might give it a shot because I am curious as well. I have never tried it for the same reason you mentioned...it doesn't seem like it would be strong enough. If I try it, i'll let you know!
What about .7 inch plywood?
U can plug the Kreg holes
Very good point. That would probably strength the joint even more.
What about dowels?
That’s certainly a great option too!
no dowels?
Not in this video. Maybe another version to come soon!
Excelent vídeo, good work.
Thanks, glad you liked it.
you forgot dowels
That’s certainly a great option too!
