New workshop time (nearly there...)

Right. Nearly there with the bench. I think.

Introducing the pocket hole jig I bought a couple of years ago. Basically a block with angled holes through it, a clamp, an odd drill bit and an extraction port.

And it makes holes like this in bits of wood!

How have you found the Pocket Hole Jig?  Am looking to get one, but not sure if I should go for one of these or the Kreg ones.

cheers

I'm very happy with it. Can't compare with the Kreg, but it does what it is meant to, and does it very well. Well worth it in my view.

Cheers Sporky, I think that I'll go with the Kreg one, mainly due to cost.  But thanks!

Ah - when I bought, the Kreg was more expensive than the Axminster bundle. They're remarkably similar so I think either will work nicely.
