need some ideas

There is an adjustable right angle drill attachment. the angle can be varied from less than 45 to 90 degrees. I can’t recall the name but I have seen them at Lowes.

Thanks. I have the 90 deg version, but the grip still gets in the way.

Bob,

What about one of those flexible shaft drill extensions? LJ’s store has quite a few listed – here.

Epoxy the sides on instead :)

Bob,

What if you drill the pocket hole at 45 degrees pointing up to the top of the cabinet or some other angle so that the drill fits?

Is it close enough that a smaller drill would help (bet you didn’t think of that)? ;2)

Tim and Damian, two good ideas that I will give real consideration and let you guys know what solution I finally put to use.

Thanks and have a great day

Duct tape!
You can just glue and clamp the face frames. They just have to sit in the clamps for an hour or so. (Great reason to buy more clamps!)

Maybe the hard way… measure and back drill… then use a small ratchet, socket with bit the drive home the screws. I am a professional in getting myself backed into a corner!

Oh I jusr remembered… I once used a ratchet with a hex base drill bit to hand drill a hole. Its a pain but I got it done.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the tips. I ended up borrowing a shorter pocket hole drill and a smaller 90 deg. drill attachment that allowed me to use pocket screws. Then I had to buy a Bosch PS10 adjustable 90 deg. power driver to screw in the pocket screws.

Glad you found a solution that works for you. In case anyone else is having a similar problem, you could try glue and dowels or biscuits.

Thanks again. I passed on the biscuits because the would had already been stained and sealed.
