What happens here

Once the mitered pieces are cut, pocket holes are drilled on the underside of one of the mitered edges. A Kreg jig (or similar pocket hole jig) is used in conjunction with a cordless drill to create these angled holes. These pocket holes will later house screws that reinforce the adhesive bond between the two mitered pieces, creating a strong, hidden connection.

Goal: Prepare the mitered edges of the composite pieces for hidden screw fastening.
