Question about the strength of pocket hole joinery
My question is about the strength of the connections made with a pocket hole
kit like the Kreg. I'm was thinking of using my rail and stile router bits to build a lightweight cabinet (approximately 6'h x 3'w x 2'd) using glued up 3/4" oak rail and stile construction with inserted 1/4" paneling. Would the project be sufficiently strong to stand under it's own weight if I just used a 1/4" slot cutter for the paneling and joined everything instead with pocket joints? I've seen many suggestions for using pocket joints when creating face frames, but I don't remember seeing anyone talking about full cabinet construction using pocket joints. Thanks |
