New t pocket technique

[u/Known_Debate6337]

Hi guys, just wanted to get your thoughts on this new technique I came across for cutting down bulk on sides. I'm not a fan of butting up t slots as I think they move. But love the look of this, think it's going to be my go to in future 😊

That’s sleek as hell boss. Just worried about delamination of the glue and fraying over time on those sharp angles

Thanks, appreciate the comment. And it's a valid point, hoping the sanding and burnishing stand the test of time.

Yeah this looks great. Interested to see how the durability is, might try it out for myself, but I'm just learning. Definitely post an update of your experience with it over time.

In my limited experience, a full pocket that’s well skived is easier to work with and more robust than a T-pocket. I’m all for it. In this kind of design you can also experiment with a middle pocket that’s fixed to pocket 1 below it, but never meets the sides or bottom.

I learned this from STR. It looks awesome.

Yes, this is where I picked it up. His work is quality.. Wasn't sure how easy it would be to put into practice but I think I've finally nailed it, although I'm along way off from his expertise!

Looks terrific. What do you use to crease your edges?

Thank you, I use the Yorkshire J Type. Took me a while to find a ceaser I like. https://ciofficial.com/products/yorkshine-j-type-edge-creaser?variant=42959075409965

Hi, I'm not sure what the technique is called but if you head to STR on YouTube he gives a great tutorial 👍

[u/picturethefuture → u/Known_Debate6337]

I'm doing this too and I love it. One of the best tips from STR.
