<p>Thanks Ken. I assume the heel is the "thick" part of the joint and the toe is the "thin" part of the joint?</p>

<p>Marcus,</p>
<p>I'd make test sample pieces.</p>
<p>Think of two such short sections, cut the desired angle, bring the joints together, </p>
<p>place the intended screw on top the sample test pieces,</p>
<p>and mark with a pencil where the pocket holes will be located.</p>

<p>The longer screw near the heel of the joint, and a shorter screw nearer the toe end of the mitered cut.</p>
<p></p>
<p>OPTION</p>
<p>make a pattern out of a section of cardboard stock, and place the screws on the pattern, so as to determine where the screws are to located, to achieve the strongest joint section.</p>
<p>i.e., the pattern to be 3.50" wide, as like that of a 2x4 is is actual 3.5" side.</p>
<p>NOTE: the further apart your screws are in the jointed mitered members, will result in a stronger joint.</p>
<p>A longer screw will result in deeper engagement into the joining member.</p>
