Handle Pocket
Pocket Hole Joinery consists of drilling a hole at an angle into one piece of wood, and then joining it to a second piece with a self-tapping screw. The technique of pocket hole joinery began in Egyptian times. "Egyptians clamped two workpieces together and bored a hole at an angle from the outside workpiece into the second workpiece. They then inserted a dowel with glue, and cut it off flush with the outermost surface." - Wikipedia
A simple concept, pocket hole joinery allows the user to utilize the same technology that is used in high production cabinet shops.
An advantage of pocket hole joinery over other types of joinery is that you only have to deal with one half the joint. With biscuits and dowels, you are dealing with both sides of the joint. There is also no time wasted waiting for the glue to dry, just screw and go. The result is a nice flat face which reduces sanding time and a good, solid joint that is ready to be used.
The Kreg System of pocket hole joinery uses a special 2-step drill bit. First, it drills a pilot hole in the end and second, it creates a flat bottom hole. Round bottom holes can cause the wood to split when you screw into them. Therefore, the flat bottom hole, combined with the self tapping screw creates a mini clamp on the joint making it extremely strong. From the Kreg website: "A independent lab completed testing a few years back that showed that a pocket hole joint failed at 707 pounds when subjected to a shear load while a mortise and tenon joint failed at 453 pounds (approximately 35% stronger). Pocket hole joints are tremendously strong for a couple of reasons. 1. The use of a mechanical fastener (screw) is significantly stronger than the material around it (wood), and 2. The amount of direct clamping force placed on the joint by driving the screw combined with today's glue technology makes for a sensationally strong bond."
The screws create an enormous amount of clamping power. Be sure that your boards are planed and your cuts are square because the pocket holes will pull joints off to the degree that you've cut the angles inaccurately. A packet of these screws come with the Kreg System and can also be purchased separately in varying quantities. As Dean Bielanowski states in his online review, "The screws supplied are square drive meaning no hassles with burring or stripping the heads when over-tightening, unlike Philips head and other generic-type screws. They also feature a 'washer head' to ensure a solid and even clamping force when driven. In fact, Kreg states on their website that in testing, the strength of the pocket hole joint with metal screws against other traditional forms of joinery (including mortise and tenon joints) was significantly greater. This ensures piece of mind when using pocket holes for joints that will encounter pressure or weight." Bonus: they cost no more than regular screws.
A valuable accessory to the Kreg System is the Right Angle Clamp. This handy tool helps easily hold together right angle joints, for instance in chairs and cabinets. The peg of the clamp goes right into the pocket-hole screw, holding your wood pieces together at 90 degrees. This makes is easy to then set the pieces by screwing into the other pocket holes. Kreg also makes plugs in various species of wood so that you can cover the holes that are made in decorative pieces such as shelving.
Kreg is better.
Kreg's pocket hole joinery system is better than the others. Why? Because of the flat bottom hole that the Kreg Joiner creates. Porter Cable's system creates a very nice looking but round bottom hole. Round bottom holes prevent the washer heads from fully seating which can cause the wood to split when you screw it tight. Also, Kreg's system works on demand. By that I mean that it doesn't stay running if you are not using it. The switch is in the handle that you pull down slightly to clamp, then you pull down more to activate the drill. It consists of one drill, not a separate router and drill bit like the Porter Cable System. And for pretty much the same price you get a very simple, very easy, very nice strong joint.
Eleven Uses for Pocket-hole Joints:
1. Right Angles
2. Beveled edges
3. Aprons
4. Leg rails
5. Picture Frames
6. Window Jambs
7. Trim carpentry
8. Built-ins
9. Decks
10. Cabinet frames
11. Stairways: Use pocket screws and lots of wood glue to keep them from squeaking between the bottom sides of treads and the riser. Almost all squeaks come from where wood is rubbing against nails.

Stag Bowie
Do you start pulling out your gear several months before you take a hunting trip? If your anything like me, the day after you schedule a hunt, you start preparing for the trip. I spend so much time researching and preparing for a trip, by the time it finally arrives, it's almost a little depressing. If you haven't experienced this part of the hunt your missing a lot of fun and below are some tips to living the hunt, not just while your there, but for months beforehand.
Let's use my trip to New Zealand with Craigieburn Alpine Safaris as an example to illustrate the process I go through when planning for a hunt. My father and brother-in-law had booked the trip in my absence at a hunting convention. I didn't know the outfitter, the location, or the animals available, not to mention the terrain, the type of hunting or anything else for that matter.
My first step was to track down the outfitter's website. I studied it thoroughly learning about the location of the hunt, the species available, pondering what I wanted to hunt and learning about what was available. There were beautiful pictures of mountain summits and massive red stags with crowned antlers. I could almost smell the mountain air.
I next called on a few friends that had hunted for stag or had been to New Zealand hunting for chamois, stag, and tahr. It's always best in my opinion to speak to someone you know first, to learn what to ask. I learned many hunts in New Zealand are fenced rather than free range. The chamois and tahr are often hunted with helicopters, and the stags are classified by bronze, silver, or gold medal depending on the size and whether they were taken free range or not. I definitely wanted to hunt free range and I wanted to take a chamois by the power of my two legs rather than a helicopter.
Next I studied the internet to learn all I could about New Zealand and New Zealand hunting. I read about the country and learned about the animals and how they are hunted. I discovered their are two islands, the South and the North and the terrain is extremely different as well as the type of hunting. I was happy to know we would be hunting the South Island.
I bought a book on hunting New Zealand a relived another hunter's experiences. I also bought a few hunting videos featuring New Zealand hunts. It amazing how much more real the hunt becomes when you see the terrain and watch other hunters taking trophies. There is nothing that compares to this experience and it helps with any type of hunt you are taking. This is also one of my favorite hunt preparation routines. Nothing like a great hunting video to pass those long evenings.
My next step was to contact the outfitter. By this point I had gathered enough information to ask about pricing, hunting gear lists, exact location, how we would be hunting and what kind of physical condition I needed to be in. I soon learned it was time to get in shape. I also searched the internet for additional gear lists and began paging through Cabela's to fill out my missing gear. I can spend hours in a large outdoor store checking out gear and choosing what I want. Most I can't afford, but if you don't enjoy this part of the preparation, you need your head checked.
Once I learned the location, it was time to pull up Google Maps. This software is truly amazing and allows you to literally scout the terrain from your computer. I can't think of how many times someone has told me about a special hunting spot that I then checked out on my laptop. You can cruise down the roads, set on top of a hill and view the surrounding, see all the nooks and crannie that hide critters, mark your favorites spots, and more. If you haven't tried it, your missing the boat! Just remember, those mountains are a lot bigger in real life.
Now it was time to start pulling out my hunting gear. I always pull out twice as much gear as I need several months before the hunt and start whittling it down as the hunt draws near. I pack up my backpack and carry it around as part of my excercise routine (minus the rifle) just to see how it fits. I also start making trips to the range to knock the dust off the old rifle and make sure that once in a lifetime shot counts.
The closer the time came for the hunt, the more I dreamed of big stags and shaggy tahr. It was tough to sleep at all the last couple weeks before the trip. I had gone over my gear a hundred times, honed my rifle skills, beat my body into shape, and all that was left was to relax and let the guide do the work.
Like I said, the hunt starts long before the day of the trip and I enjoy every minute of it.

Stag Handle Bowie Knife

Lockback Folding
Should I carry a folding lockback knife for protection?
louisiana, nawlims
I'm a 24 y.o. guy so pepper spray is not 4 me
Don't take this the wrong way, man, but no.
I'm a retired Marine, and I can tell you the best PDW (personal defense weapon) is a sidearm. Not a knife. A knife is for assault.
You see, if you're in a situation that requires a knife, that means your enemy is armed with a knife, because if it's a firearm... well, you don't take a knife to a gunfight. Since that person has a knife, and is assaulting you with it, you will simply not have enough time to 1. react, 2. locate your knife, 3. deploy the blade, and 4. position it into an effective grip. You will already be dead.
Marines carry knifes primarily as tools, though we do use them for assault. Some of the badash jarheads like to brag about gutting with Ka-Bars, but when the [bleep] hits the fan, we don't grab the blade unless we're runnin' dry on .22s and 9mms.
No, pepper spray is stupid. It's for women, and considered pus-$-ee by gangbangers.
You're 24, which means you can get a legal weapons carry license. I'd advise you check with your local and state laws, and seriously consider carrying a firearm. I'd even go so far as to suggest a Glock 26. It's small, powerful, and easy to use. Whenever people ask me about defensive countermeasures, I say Glock 26. Cops generally like civilians to have them because they don't have the firepower of larger weapons (I mean magazine capacity). They also like it because Glocks are relatively very easy to use, and a less complicated weapon means less chance of misfire. With 10 rounds, you can keep yourself very safe. A gangbanger will laugh at pepperspray, but they'll just walk away from a firearm.
You need a clean record, and a valid reason for wanting to carry. Living in New Orleans, you should come up with a good one.
Edit: Be advised, the decision to carry a live firearm is not a light matter. It's a big responsibility, and can be a potential danger to the public. You should have a strong background in handling firearms, especially the one you pick to carry. I've heard stories of idiots dropping their sidearms while in a public bathroom and hitting the person in the next stall.
By the way, you absolutely should carry a nice, small knife for a tool. It's good, common sense. Good luck.
But no, no knife for protection. It's a tool. It has been for tens of thousands of years. For brands, I reccomend Sog and Leatherman all the way. Leathernecks like Leatherman.
