This simple jig works great for drilling pocket holes. It took me roughly 15 minutes to construct so it is a very economical solution for drilling pocket holes. To use the jig, simply clamp it to the workpiece and drill to the appropriate depth. In my case, I cut it such that the approprate depth is the full length of my 3/8” brad point bit. I found the idea on Fine Woodworking website: http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/Workshop/WorkshopArticle.aspx?id=3302

Well, it will work until it wears out, but for what you spent you can just build another one.

I agree with rikkor, did same thing. Those Kreg jigs are pricey, unless you use it alot so it pay itself.

I might add that with Blackdog’s device you can insert a couple of bronze bushings and the holes will last a long, long time. ( about $2.00) a pair.
