I’ve had my Kreg K4 pocket hole jig for years, it was actually a gift from my father when I first started building out my own garage shop. Though I had it for a long time, I always just through it on the table or workbench and then held it upright while I was drilling out the pocket holes. Drilling the pocket holes in the short end of longer boards was always a bit of a challenge and I’d often turn the jig on its side so I could lay the boards down.

However, as I’ve recently started using some of my scrap wood pieces to build out some more jigs and carts around the shop (like the air compressor cart the pocket hole jig station is sitting on in the pictures below), I decided to build a pocket hole jig station. The design was slightly influenced by the scrap wood pieces I had laying around the shop, most of which was 1/2″ plywood. Though using 1/2″ plywood for these plans does mean the overall weight is less than if I used 3/4; and it is more than sturdy enough for the job.

the 1/2″ plywood also works out well for the dividers in the storage compartment on the left, as it allows the perfect 2 7/8″ spacing to fit the pocket hole screw and plug boxes. I left the right storage compartment wide open to allow room for clamps and such.

The most unique thing about my pocket hole jig station is the bit and driver storage slots in the riser blocks beneath the Kreg jig. I had some 1x4s that just happened to be the perfect length to use for the risers. So I used my 1/2″ core box bit on the router table to route out the grooves on each piece, then I added some rare earth magnets to the grooves on both sides. The magnets hold the bits and drivers in place when I’m moving the pocket hole jig station around. So far I haven’t had any problems with them falling out.

You can use my pocket hole jig station plans as a reference if you want to build one for yourself. Drop me a comment below if you have questions. If you have built one for yourself I’d love for you to share some pictures and notes through the Share Your Build link.
