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

I already have the Kreg system. I always seem tho read the money saving tips after I have spent the money.

Ditto to what rikkor said…....

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.

Drilling your hole oversize and putting a steel sleeve, would make it last much longer, also a lip to align it with the end of the board would be nice. Great idea!

Another simlple solution!!! Of course I own the Kreg jig….
These post never pop up 3 minutes before I spend my money. :)

Great tool solution!

cool jig but i got a grizzley pocket hole tool it was pertty inexpensive and works well but yours is really cool and cheaper than any other one and works just as good for just scraps of wood

what angle did you cut your drilling block? In other words at what is the angle of the hole

Thank You another great idea for the shop :)

Drill your hole for a hardened drill guide bushing and it won’t wear out so quickly. Install the drill guide into the hole. Then your drill will be riding in a hardened guide that is sized for the drill bit. You can get them at McMaster Carr.
