Vent: I called pocket screws a shortcut for 2 years and my shop table just proved me wrong
Built a workbench last month in my garage in Boise and used pocket screws on the apron joints because I was short on time, and I figured it would loosen up within a week. It did not. I leaned on that thing with a 60 pound vise bolted to one end and the joints have not moved at all. Two years of me talking down to pocket screws and a $30 jig quietly beat my glued-up mortise plan. Now I'm looking at my old miter saw stand joints and wondering what else I got wrong, so has anyone here had pocket screws fail on them under real load?
