From Our Shop to Yours: Screw pockets in Furniture? Sure! Screw pockets can be used for tables, chairs, bookcases, and much more. Most of you know that joint strength is especially important when making or producing furniture. But, did you know that screw pocket joinery can be as strong, or in some applications stronger, than traditional mortise and tenon? And, with low-angle pockets, the strength and stability of the joint is maximized. With Castle’s low-angle, 6degree pockets, you can use pocket joinery in material as thin as ?’ up to a material thickness of 1-1/2”. Take a look at this award- winning cabinet made with screw pockets by Elliott Perciaccante, at Cedar Ridge High School in Hillsborough, NC. #screwpocketjoinery #pocketholemachine #customfurniture Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/giWzcuyU

From Our Shop to Yours: the go-to joinery method for RV/Van Upfitting? Pocket Joinery! It's fast and strong and creates EXTRA stable joints. Stability might be even more important when creating RV cabinetry due to the environment: lots of vibration, changing conditions, and more. Our RV customers also know that Castle, low-angle, 6degree pockets are the only way to go, especially when working with thinner 1/2" material.

From Our Shop to Yours: Pocket Hole Joinery & Outdoor Furniture? YES! And since we’re not even halfway through winter, here’s a lovely picture from Castle customer EG Outdoor to warm you up. Pocket hole joints are great for outdoor furniture manufacturing.?We have a number of customers who build their outdoor product lines using screw pockets with synthetic materials like Hi-Density Polyethylene and HDPE.?Almost all of them are CSI 1.5D users – this machine is super-efficient and easy to operate – because the CSI not only cuts the pockets and drills the pilot hole, it also pre-inserts a screw. CSI users report saving over 40% in assembly labor costs. ?Learn more about the CSI 1.5D at CastleUSA.com #pocketholejoinery #pocketholemachine #outdoorfurniture

From Our Shop to Yours: What kind of drawers do YOU have? Now, before you get any funny ideas, please note that we're talking about CABINET drawers :-). Pocket holes can be used to assemble sturdy drawer boxes. Since the screw pockets are in the very back of the drawer and behind the drawer front, they are never visible.? You might be surprised at the number of our customers (both small shops and mid-sized cabinet manufacturers) using screw pockets for assembling their drawer boxes.? They’re not just being used in budget cabinets (!!) but also high-end and custom cabinets as well. Check out our video on assembling drawer boxes here, https://lnkd.in/gkHgZNsX? In the video we go over one of the most widely used methods for assembling drawers with screw pockets.? We also show our recommendations on the number of screw pockets based on the height of the drawer stock.? As a bonus, we show how to make a great little jig that makes assembling screw pocketed drawers super easy. Need more info?
