4. Position face frames precisely (use a spacer block here) and clamp the joint to hold the faces flush. Drive the pocket
screws into the holes with the 6-in. long square driver bit until the joint is snug. Adjust the clutch on your drill to avoid overdriving the screw.
TIP
Cut a spacer block to ensure frame members are accurately aligned.

5. Assemble cabinet boxes with pocket screws by using the jig and drilling pocket holes every 8 to 12 in. along the edge of the plywood. Then glue, align and clamp the parts and screw them together. For a neater appearance, buy custom-shaped wood plugs to fill the pocket holes.

6. To hold table legs in place while you attach the Apron with pocket screws, build a simple right-angle jig as shown. Place spacers behind the apron boards as shown to create the desired offset.

7. Drill pockets along the edge of the plywood shelf. Clamp shelf nosing to a perfectly flat surface like the table saw top
shown here. Spread a thin layer of glue along the edge of the plywood and screw the plywood to the shelf nosing. The pocket screws will draw the plywood down, resulting in a flush joint when you flip the shelf over.
