Switched from pocket hole screws to dovetails for my last three drawer boxes and I am never going back.

The joints on the pocket hole ones started separating after a year but the dovetails I did on a jig from a garage sale are still tight as a drum, has anyone else noticed that much of a difference in durability with hand cut joints?

Dovetails from a garage sale jig?" That’s wild... I can’t believe that.

Funny how the hidden gems always come from the stuff nobody expects, just like finding a solid set of hand tools at a yard sale for pennies. It really makes you wonder what other everyday treasures are just sitting around waiting to be noticed.
