What happens here

Once all individual shelf pieces are cut, use a pocket hole jig (such as a Kreg Jig) to drill pocket holes on the edges of the shelf pieces. These holes will allow for strong and hidden screw connections when assembling the vertical shelving units. If a full-size pocket hole foreman is not available, a smaller, more affordable mini pocket hole jig can be used, though it may take more time.

Goal: Utilize a pocket hole jig to create strong, concealed joints for assembling the shelving units.

Tools and materials

What they say

Hide

shelves. Let's make a couple of shelves. Let's do that. All these boards 17 by8 are done. I'm going to use pocket holes to attach this to the side. So, I'm going to use this. Use my Craig jig foreman here. If you don't have a foreman, which not a lot of people do, they're kind of pricey. Uh you can use a mini Craig jig like this. It's 20 bucks. It gets the job done. Just takes a little bit of time. So, let's start throwing this thing on there and get some holes in there.
