Goodness! This pocket hole jig is the cat's pajamas!

I already have 4 joints assembled and pre-drilled for the next 4 in the morning. That should complete the bottom "frame" for the bench. After that the rest should be gravy.

I did make one mistake on the second joint by running the fasteners in too far. The joint was very weak so after pulling it off I saw the mistake I made.

I guess there must be some way to know when the fastener is in all the way. And to stop screwing.

Maybe just having the right touch/feel and knowing when it's in.

No photos because my SD card somehow got locked.

Will post some tomorrow. For now - I'm bubbling with excitement having added to me weak knowledge base of carpentry skills.
