The plans on this site are built using frameless cabinet construction and pocket hole joinery for plywood. Here’s a quick look at the Kreg jig details and how it makes for easy work in drilling pocket holes (link opens in a new window).
Specifically, as it relates to building garage cabinets, we’re interested in 90 degree panel joints. There’s no need for dado or rabbet joints. With a drill bit and pocket hole jig, drill holes in your work piece and clamp for assembly. Pocket screws and wood glue will secure the cabinets quickly and efficiently. The pocket screw is your new best friend!
This video gives a better idea of how we’ll be working:
Pocket hole joinery for plywood offers the best solution for garage cabinets. All of the pocket holes are cut and oriented so that they are on the exterior of the garage cabinet. It makes for easier assembly and a “cleaner” look on the inside of the cabinet. Pocket hole screws are “hidden” on the top and bottom of the cabinet. However, if necessary, you could fill them with wood putty or Kreg hole plugs.
