I guess you oldtimer RVers know this already,Kreg countersink jig is great for trailers. I bought and used one today,it made joining 1x a lot easier than side screwing I had done before.

That's it. The correct terminlogy is Pocket Hole Jig. I usd one to build cabinets in a Class B and it makes for a really nice job. Cabinet makers have been using them for a long time. If you do very much construction type stuff, they are well worth the price.

It is a wood working device to join two boards at angles,generally 90 degrees.
Relatively new, has been advertised extensively on various DYI TV programs
NO I do not own one!

I own one and it'sa great. You can make faceframes for cabinets a lot faster with them.

Harbor Freight has a pocket hole jig kit that looks more robust than the Kreg and is cheaper:

I used it for installing backing 1x4s on the flat, face to face. The factories use staple across the joint.

yup, works great. BTW my trailer cabinetry uses pocket holes on all the face frames etc. rather than staples. much more robust and easier to disasemble/modify if needed!!
