In this video I show a build for a utility cart I needed for my lathe. I decided to try pocket joining and do the build with hand tools to find out how easy it would be for anyone to use this method. I detail the process from start to finish and throw in a few tips I have learned along the way. Enjoy!

Excellent Fran, watching gives me confidence! 💯
I do believe that is a Robertson bit! We have an inside joke at work because we had to install an escape room, and the guys from the corporate office mansplained the difference between all kinds of bits, screws, washers and bolts. So we tease each other by asking "do you even know what a #2 Robertson bit is?"
You could screw the jig to the workpiece if clamping is not strong enough. The screw hole is no less unsightly than the pocket hole.
I love the videos you do… you are always keeping my attention on how many thing you know how to do! Bravo!!!! Thank you for all the content you do!
Fran, a very nice and definitely sturdily built utility cabinet. One question: I very much like the laminated paneling you used for this project. It appears to be a type of finger-jointed material. I have looked in the big-box stores and online and cannot find this paneling material. An online search results in imports from China and Korea or New Zealand. Would you tell us where you found this product and what it is named? Thanks . . . I really like the variety of your videos!
Another great job by Fran. Looks very heavy duty to me.
Wow….. you wern't taking any chances on "not enough screws".
Nice work. im in love wowww hope you are well and ewery thing is oki. hope im gonna be Abel to be a patreon of you some of these days. byee…
I am subscribing to you to support you, your content is great, and I don't like what YouTube is doing to you. Just not right. There are a lot of people like you who will never have commercial numbers, but provide needed information. By the way, you kind of overkilled it with pocket screws. About three on a side would have been sufficient if you glued them too.
When the world ends, the joints of that cart will be the only things that remain.
Nicely made cart and video.
I always knew you were kind of screwy…but that's a lot of screws! Nice job.
Nice work Fran, but I am not sure you uses enough fasteners… lol
" 'course my table is level…" I do not believe there's any universe where Fran's table is not level! No way.
A good friend of mine who tought me what little know woodworking I know allways said: It's not the screws that hold it thogether, it's the glue.
You need just as many screws as it takes to hold it together while the glue sets. That's really all they're there for.
And BTW; when it comes to glue, less is more.
