Vic Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 They definitely have their place and use. I love them in my shop. I just don't use them on my "designed" pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBaiga Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 fortunately i don't plan on any projects going through a metal detector, body scanner or cavity search - so i guess pocket screws are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoboMonk Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I found so-called "pocket screws" in 1920's case goods furniture we have in our house. They have been in constant use since then - nothing new, just visit your local Ikea store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardnesd Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 1920's??? c'mon man you expect me to believe that? I look at a pocket joint and it has 1970's engineering written all over it. I found so-called "pocket screws" in 1920's case goods furniture we have in our house.

dragonjaze Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I know they are strong, I know they are fast, and I know they work well for many things. I just cannot get over my aversion to them, and I don't know why. I think they are tacky beyond belief. But then, my income doesn't rely on quick and fast case assemblies, either.

gardnesd Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 in regards to the tacky-ness. like i said...they are very 70's...

Jerry_in_SD Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Only place I have used them is in face frame assembly. For that they are great. But that is cabinet making in my mind, not fine woodworking.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardnesd Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 So this started out as a "funny" post and then it became serious. Raise your hand if you're an engineer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBaiga Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 which hand? how high should it be raised? what orientation and angle for the wrist, elbow and shoulder? palm open or closed? you have to be more specific for the enginerds, lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
