mustang guy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I use my Kreg all the time. Love it! One of these a a brad nailer and some good glue, and clamps and bisquits are a thing of the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these a a brad nailer and some good glue, and clamps and bisquits are a thing of the past. Except biscuit joining does't leave a line of ugly, ragged holes in one of the pieces. There's a time and place for any type of joinery, and no single techique is universal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panacea Engineering Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The holes are not ragged, there are wooden plugs for them and they become invisable with minimum sanding. One other note, the Pocket joint is reversable, are Biscuit Joints? Pocket joints are forgiving and can be realigned, don't think you can do that with Biscuits. I have a Biscuit joint cutter that is collecting dust BTW, have you EVER made any type of positive post on this Forum....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my Kreg too, as I love my dovetailer, but as I said, no joinery technique is universal. That's why there are so many techniques. I'd be more positive if there won't so many people on the forums giving bad advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tromprof Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I used pocket scews on my subwoofer build and was very pleased with the result, and will be using them again on my next build. Since they were faced internally I filled them with the PL I was using to glue the panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no bad advice; the post said I want to drill holes like this and those holes were drilled with a pocket screw jig. I'm not saying that it's for every application, but that was the question.

Get the complete kit if you buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 The Kreg is a really neat tool!!! I was at Wodworker's Emporium a week ago and they have a $15 rebate on the full kit, so the final price is $135. Nice deal on a great tool.

Framer Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hello there I was looking at your handy work nice lookin. Could you point me in the right direction for some basics on sub woofer design ? I am a carpenter and am pretty interested in making some speakers. I see that your sub you show here has some kind of neat porting system just courious as to how to make one of those and the dementions needed for various speaker sizes or amp configuration. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks and have a good one, Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
