Adventures In Pocket Joining
Added 2018-07-01 03:59:59 +0000 UTCIn 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!

I love the finished product but you did go a little nuts with the fasteners. Hay it should certainly hold together! :)

2018-07-01 14:51:20 +0000 UTCFran, those strange screws are "Robertson Screws". A Canadian invention way back in 1908. Peter Robertson had had enough of the 'Phillips" screw and all the bad things that go along with them (we all know what a pain they can be when trying to unscrew them) and invented a much better screw head that is used around the world, except in the US. The reason they are not popular in the US goes back to Henry Ford. P.L. Robertson introduced them to Ford who thought they were great, and started to use them in the production of his cars, and found that production went up measurable by using this "square" head. But, when it came to paying royalties on the screw, Ford was not a happy camper and told Robertson what he could do with his superior screw, and went back to the inferior Phillips screw, and production went down. The price you pay for an igo and greed I guess. Love your projects.
