However I have secretly been curious and noticed that Kreg jig set it really quite reasonably priced, And certainly makes one think of the posibilities...Thx for the pic.

Hi Jenn, yep I got the Kreg Jig R3 junior. It was £30 and came with various screws and some of those dowels to put in and cover the hole.
The instructions are really easy to follow and the holes I drilled worked out fine.

Maybe not *that* good.... but at my age I get to drill more pocket holes than I get knee-tremblers.... ;D ;D ;D

I have a full Kreg set.
However - 99.9% of the time - I use this one:

So you can really lower the cost of entry/testing with it.
It solves some joinery problems that otherwise are clunky.

I have a Kreg kit sitting in my garage unopened, with some wood next to it ready to be turned into furniture. (Turntable stand/ record cabinet). I look forward to my first pocket joint as well, but it has been sitting for about 2 months, as my higher priority stuuf seem to keep creeping in, like a downed tree in my yard, or my boat motor seals going bad.
