Added tip :use blue tape for your pencil Mark ,that way you don't have to sand it l off and if your cabinets are finished you have a nice Mark and you didn't damage the cabinet by putting a pencil line on it just use some tape I recommend frog tape from Home Depot yellow is good because you could see the pencil line really well.

I was installing new drawer pulls on finished drawers. Taping a small piece of paper or a post-it note to the front allowed me to make my mark for the Kreg jig without having to wipe off the alignment mark. Of course, that technique works in unfinished wood as well. The jig saves so much time. Love it.

I tore out all the cabinets from my kitchen and installed all brand new cabinets last year. The new cabinets didn't come with pre-drilled holes (for obvious reasons) so I had to drill them myself. The doors / drawer faces are beveled, so doing this by hand was a major pain! After one or two, I decided to buy the cabinet hardware jig to do all the rest. It is AMAZING. It not only cut the time down to drill all these holes, but gave me perfect alignment of the handles throughout the kitchen. I'll never install or even build another cabinet without this jig!!!

The Kreg jig for drawer pulls is pretty sweet. I used to make my own out of scrap wood, but then you end up with several laying around the shop. This saves me the trouble. Ditto for the European hinge jig...used to make these out of plexiglass, but that got a bit tedious and time consuming. These two Kreg jigs are my mainstays.

Nicely done. Two points though, the exposed pocket hole on the backs of the doors looks bad, maybe fine for a shop. Also, when drilling the pull mounting holes with the jig, you didn't put a backing scrap to prevent tear out on the outgoing side of the drill inside the drawer.

Also they have a pocket hole insert cover maker that you can make your own cover out of the same piece of wood you use for making the drawer which lines the grains up to match perfectly. Once sanded and stained there is no sign of any holes. Its a brillant jig IMO. Great video

I use pocket holes for alot of things, but this is overkill. Back side of doors are full of pocket holes, and yes they do have plugs for that. But it's just way too much, 18g brads or 23g pin nails with glue would require far less finish work.

I love Kreg Jigs, pocket hole is fantastic. But has its places. The back of the long cabinet door looks horrid and Kreg has "pcoket hole dowels" semi-pre cut to length and at 45 degree so you only need to do is basically sand. Sometimes they look good when seen and using a darker one on lighter wood or other way around can look really cool. However for a classic look, using dowels in the front doors is best option. They aren't carrying a heavy load and are a fraction of the cost of way overpriced pocket tools. For the average drawer I would have just cut a slot into the bottom pcs and glued it in. If it was a tool chest then Id use the pocket hole screws. Love them though!

The Kreg jig is great if you like drilling one hole at a time. If you want to save time and have some routers in your shop I suggest a Portercable production pocket screw machine it will cut your time by 80%. If time is not a factor Kreg will work. The only time I would use a Kreg jig would be for a field application, never in a shop.
