Pocket Hole Joinery

Pocket
Hole Joinery in its’ simplest terms is drilling
a hole at an angle into one workpiece and then
joining it to a second workpiece with a self-tapping
screw. This technique was actually invented by
the Egyptians as they clamped two workpieces together
and then bored a hole at an angle from one workpiece
into the second workpiece. They then inserted
a dowel with some glue and cut it off flush with
the surface. This technique continued to evolve
over the years into two main joinery methods,
doweling and more recently, pocket hole joinery.
The modern pocket hole joint grew in popularity
with the creation of the self-tapping screw in
the 1980’s which eliminated the need to drill
into the second workpiece altogether.
 Why
is pocket hole joinery so popular? Mainly because
of its speed, strength and simplicity. Speed comes
from the fact that the self-tapping screw eliminates
the need to pre-drill the mating workpiece, which
avoids many alignment problems caused by having
to layout and drill for aligning fasteners as
with dowel, biscuit, and mortise and tenon joints.
Secondly, the self-tapping screw also serves as
an internal clamp, which eliminates clamping the
joint as the glue dries. This saves the investment
in various clamping devices, the time and frustration
of clamping, as well as the problems associated
with pulling the assembly out of square with clamping
pressure.
The strength of a pocket
hole joint can be explained with two simple statements.
First, a mechanical screw has physical properties
that make it stronger than a biscuit, dowel, or
tenon. Secondly, the amount of constant clamping
force placed on the joint line by driving the
screw combined with today’s glue technology
makes for an incredibly strong wood-to-wood bond.
