Hello all,
First time posting here. Hope you can help.
I just purchased the Kreg Master system for a project I am starting. It is a breakfast bar for the kitchen. It will basically be three base cabinets. But,,, I am putting a trash bin type drawer on one end ( to hold the dog food ) and a trash compactor on the other end. The ends will be 90 degress to the middle cabinet, which will be a bank of drawers. To make it easier to get out of my cellar "workshop" I am going to make three individual cabinets instead of one monster.
Looking thru the Kreg Cabinet Making Booklet that came with my jig it says to dado the back in....
My question is What is the reasoning behind that? Is there a specific reason to do that? If I am already pocket screwing the sides.. what difference does it make to pocket screw the back?
Thanks
Mike

Here is one such example that was posted in the KJOC:

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
