Pocket hole joinery is very popular, but can get costly.
Carmen Salamones solution was to build his own jig for $13. Works just as well as the $100+ commercial version. He has no plans, but heres his description:
Scrap 1 x 6 for the base. 2 x 3 cut to about 3 1/2 ". Small slot carved out to fit the Kreg jig. I used the kreg Jr and removed the grey sliding guides. The 2 x 3s were placed apart slightly wider than the jig itself. Screwed and glued. Cut out a small place on the base under the jig for it to slide down far enough to use the 1/2 setting. I used a piece of all thread with a knob, and glued in a nut on the opposite side. When tightened it squeezes the 2 x 3 slightly together holding the jig in place.

Ed Boyle came up with this ingenious solution for a paper towel holder by cutting off the lid and threaded part of a plastic water bottle.

Another great kitchen idea. When Ray Levesque saw how much under the counter cookbook holders cost, he made his own. The biggest challenge was devising a method of keeping it in the closed position. A simple hook was the simple solution.
