Wow ! New to pocket joinery and have had a little problem with store bought plugs.
Found this video and the method with dowels works like a charm. Also way way cheaper. THANK YOU!!

Great tip. I just bought the R3 jig kit. A real live saver for doing face frames. It's awesome!

Chris, great video and tip. All the negative comments are just sad. He's trying to provide an alternative solution, if you don't like it, just move on, no need for the rude comments. Not everyone needs to make fine furniture type projects or have the time or the tools to do it the "real" way. We all know you're all master woodworkers. Where are your videos showing us your expertise? Didn't think so. Thanks Chris, for the option.

Nice tip. Been making cabinets for years, and use pocket holes for door frames and never thought of this. Thanks.

[CMRWoodworks]

Nice tip! I haven't had the need to fill any yet. If I use pocket holes in a project, I have them hidden. But nice to know there is a cheap solution if I ever do fill them. Thanks.

That saw is the most bad ass looking non-powered tool ever!

Love idea of using 3/8" dowels can buy dowels in pine, oak maple etc awesome thanks for sharing

[JonnyDIY]

Great Vid. I love those Japanese flush cut saws :)

[MyFathersBusinessLLC]

but it's good to know the competition weakens it's structures with metal filled holes. I don't Ever want you to become a good carpenter. so GOOD JOB!

[joedejesus]

Your and A No. 1 type of guy, Thanks for an awesome lesson. I'll be sure to put this technique into practice.

[Doorkicker]

Great idea !! Ill try that idea out when I run out of the pre cut plugs.

Nice ... and if you don;t have a Japanese saw but you do have some sawdust you can mix sawdust with a little glue, fill to just over proud allow it to set and whack with palm sander :-)

Love the video, I use my Dremmal oscillating blade and makes a perfect smooth cut..

Hello Chris, seems to be a nice sugestion, especially on a lose board like you showed. In practice however the dowels would be very hard to reach with a saw and a sander, for instance in the back of drawers and cabinets, so i don't really see how this would be usefull?
Greetings, Chris

Nice tip. I have also used wood glue and sawdust to make my own filler for those on some painted projects .

[ambermonet]

Thank you sir for sharing this! Just did my first one and it was easy and beautiful. 👍

[Bbendfender]

Thanks for the tip. I use the Kreg stuff a lot.

[franktoro]

Clever and economical way to finish pocket holes.

[weldmama]

thanks for the video, here in some parts of Australia we just dont get the selection of stuff that some other countries readily do and its good to be able to come up with something like this that will do for a few projects . If doing a lot of pockethole joinery then the Kreg would be a great idea - i love their products, but for one off or small stuff this would be fine. thanks Chris :-)

LOVE THIS! THANKS. Just got this KregJig for Xmas & hate the holes. & since I'mnot a wood Hoarder my hubs says I actually have some dowrods! Preciate It.
