This is pocket-hole screw 'joinery'. You would be surprised how strong this can be. I have a layout bench made using these screws, and believe me it's still going strong after three years continual use. I did it for speed and convenience. Just the reasons these folk use pocket-hole joinery. For me it meant I could get on with some proper furniture making. As for this video, with normal treatment this wardrobe should last quite a few years. So research before you comment folks.

@theliquidgroove Who cares? I'm not planning on buying anything these guys make so it doesn't really matter! LOL!

@1too3fore I'll agree with that statement too, but unfortunately everything now is about the bottom line, how much money can people put in their pockets.

I learn to make baroue style furniture by hand. My first job 30 years ago in a caravan company use the same assembly like this video. The company fail because all the caravan is broken.

@daflyingkiwi obviously you have never made pocket hole joinery. It IS more secure than any other method. Especially when coupled with glue. Think about it. Whats more likely to hold together, glued joints or glued and double screwed joints? Not to mention the time cost and skill required to do it. Everyone wants to think they have a special skill. Sorry, anyone can do it.

I'd just like to register my amazement that "carcase" can refer to furniture.

Thank you so much

@ejs619 Your right. This seems like a very high production shop and if I was the owner, I would be doing things the same way. This shop isn't building fine furniture but probably more stuff for the big box stores and time=money.

This is some of the worst woodworking I've ever seen. Sadly, lots of people pay top dollar for crap like that.
