re: Is Scott Phillips (American Woodworker) preventing new wood workers from learning proper Joinery ?

Hi Steve
Thanks for your input. I agree a new woodworkers use of pocket screws may change after they gain more experience. I think Scotts use of pocket Screws was his choice not because Kreg is his sponsor because he used them on everything close to 30 years ago long before Kreg became one of his sponcers.
