How to Use a Kreg Jig K4 for Pocket Hole Joinery

Learn how to use a kreg jig k4 for pocket hole joinery. Pocket holes are a great way to join boards together with minimal work and minimal tools. The pocket holes that the kreg jig K4 creates are also decently strong considering they only use screws. The pocket hole is not the strongest woodworking joint but it is one of the most efficient and entry level joints a woodworking can use. I'll be using the Kreg Jig K4 system to join a few 2x4's together for a farmhouse coffee table that I am building. The Kreg Jig K4 when used properly creates perfect pocket holes for Kreg Jig screws in which you can use to mount your workpiece in place. In this video, I will detail every step of the process including how to setup the Kreg Jig, how to drill the pocket holes into your workpiece and how to mount your workpiece with the correct screws. This video will cover the entire process so if you are new to the Kreg Jig system then you will be able to learn how to use the woodworking jig correctly. I think pocket hole joinery is a great woodworking joint to have in your tool kit and can be used on a variety of DIY woodworking projects.

I’ve used this jig quite a few times, but still found myself unsure of the proper setup. Your video, (which I watched as a refresher), filled in all the blanks for me. I really enjoyed your “no-nonsense” style, which kept the video short and yet extremely informative. That’s a big thumbs-up from me. Hope this message finds anybody reading it healthy, wealthy and wise!

Clear and to the point! Thank you. I don’t need jokes, drawn out explanations. Last video I watched did not mention ANY IMPORTANT details that clearly I missed or wasn’t included with the kreg instructional guide.

[MrKen-wydk]

Your no nonsense direct approach is a perfect example of what a YouTube tutorial should be. Liked and subscribed.

A rare YouTube video. Good camera work, good lighting, well explained and demonstrated, no wasted and useless verbiage. Rare! I'm going to go buy the K4 today.

Best explanation for the kreg jig k4, thank you very much.

[triciaho]

I know this video is pretty old but I just have to say thank you for this guide for the kreg jig k4. I am now no longer afraid of pocket holes. You made it so easy to understand.

[jasonmathews]

Hey man thanks. Kreg should pay you to make their instructional videos. Much simpler, to the point, and communicative. I get tired of watching instructional videos in which people love to provide to much personal information and extra talk. Thanks for the solid brevity.

[HippiMikki]

This video was helpful. Very clear and I finally understand what I'm doing when using a Kreg tool. Thank you!

[rusdvz]

Dude, you're the only one who explained the principle of operation of the kreg conductor so clearly. These fat cats owe you a thousand dollars for every second of your video. Hello from Russia.

[RafikMankariosDrumStudio]

God bless you bud! You are the most no-nonsense woodworker who can actually explain very well without the Liked (very much) and subscribed!! Cheers!

[EEEZSolutionS]

Excellent video - took the guess work out of the set up and use of this jig... thanks, Larry

[marciabraddock]

Thank you for the awesome video. I watched another video and when it ended, I was like, "huh?" After watching that video, I decided not to purchase one as it seemed to be very complicated. However, after watching your video, I am going to order one. You broke it down perfectly. Many thanks.
