You can use a mail set if the panels were nailed on with finish nails, which
have a small head with an indent on the top. A few raps with a hammer should
set them below the wood surface. If it is nail with a flat head common nail a
small flat ended punch can be used to countersink them.

So I just read Ray's post on the Kreg R3 pocket hole joinery kit. I don't
know much, or anything, about pocket hole joinery. Has anyone used this
particular kit, or any others? Can anyone give me an idea on whether or
not this R3 kit seems like a worthwhile investment? Or is there another
Keith,
I use good old WD40 for this all the time, perhaps electronics type
contact cleaner and lubricant as findable at Radio Shlock might be better.
Just the lightest spray on the threads of the bulb, don't flood it.

Sounds like the paneling nails aren't nailed into a stud or anything
substantial enough to hold them if they are coming out with the heating and
cooling of your house. Those ribbed paneling nails are a real bugger to even
pull out with a claw hammer if they are nailed into a stud.

I have been using 2 different models of the Kreg pocket hole tools for years.
They are quality tools and well worth the price. As long as you have made good
cuts on the boards, the pocket holes make very tight, strong joints. These
tools are easy to use with very little learning curve.

You could try some sheet rock screws and sink them a little into the paneling

Mickey,
thanks for the endorsement. Do you have to purchase screws from Kreg, or
can you use any screws just as long as they have the correct head, thread
and length?

These are special screws designed for use in pocket hole applications. Most

A small one eigth inch pin peunch will work. Some may come back out with time
but it is just a matter and resetting them again.
A pin punch could be made by sawing or grinding the end of a 10 or 16 penney
nail off square on the point end. It might bend with use and you can make
another one
But be sure to allow for wood movement of the table top.

The jig clamps to the face of the board, and - has three guides that
allow you to drill in to the face of the board, and if you were to go all
the way through, the hole would come out the edge of the board.
This creates the Pocket that you drive a screw in to.
Hope this helps, but maybe I
I really don't know for sure. If any of them sell the tools, they should have

I do know that Rockler and other places like that do sell them.

The jig is essentially a block that has 2 holes in it that are made out of
hardened steel tubes in which you insert the drill bit to make the pocket
holes. These drill guides clamp to the side of a piece of wood an appropriate
distance from the edge that you want to join. the drill guides are
