The embodiments of the present disclosure described below are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure to the precise forms in the following detailed description. Rather, the embodiments are chosen and described so that others skilled in the art may appreciate and understand the principles and practices of the present disclosure. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the principles and scope of the invention. It is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and the scope of the appended claims therefore should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures. For instance, although aspects and features may be illustrated in or described with reference to certain figures or embodiments, it will be appreciated that features from one figure or embodiment may be combined with features of another figure or embodiment even though the combination is not explicitly shown or explicitly described as a combination. In the depicted embodiments, like reference numbers refer to like elements throughout the various drawings. 
     It should be understood that any advantages and/or improvements discussed herein may not be provided by various disclosed embodiments, or implementations thereof. The contemplated embodiments are not so limited and should not be interpreted as being restricted to embodiments which provide such advantages or improvements. Similarly, it should be understood that various embodiments may not address all or any objects of the disclosure or objects of the invention that may be described herein. The contemplated embodiments are not so limited and should not be interpreted as being restricted to embodiments which address such objects of the disclosure or invention. Furthermore, although some disclosed embodiments may be described relative to specific materials, embodiments are not limited to the specific materials or apparatuses but only to their specific characteristics and capabilities and other materials and apparatuses can be substituted as is well understood by those skilled in the art in view of the present disclosure. 
     It is to be understood that the terms such as “left, right, top, bottom, front, back, side, height, length, width, upper, lower, interior, exterior, inner, outer, and the like as may be used herein, merely describe points of reference and do not limit the present invention to any particular orientation or configuration. 
     As used herein, the term “or” includes one or more of the associated listed items, such that “A or B” means “either A or B”. As used herein, the term “and” includes all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, such that “A and B” means “A as well as B.” The use of “and/or” includes all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, such that “A and/or B” includes “A but not B,” “B but not A,” and “A as well as B,” unless it is clearly indicated that only a single item, subgroup of items, or all items are present. The use of “etc.” is defined as “et cetera” and indicates the inclusion of all other elements belonging to the same group of the preceding items, in any “and/or” combination(s). 
     As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include both the singular and plural forms, unless the language explicitly indicates otherwise. Indefinite articles like “a” and “an” introduce or refer to any modified term, both previously-introduced and not, while definite articles like “the” refer to a same previously-introduced term; as such, it is understood that “a” or “an” modify items that are permitted to be previously-introduced or new, while definite articles modify an item that is the same as immediately previously presented. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” and/or “including,” when used herein, specify the presence of stated features, characteristics, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not themselves preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, characteristics, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. 
     It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “connected,” “coupled,” “mated,” “attached,” “fixed,” etc. to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, and/or intervening elements may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly connected,” “directly coupled,” “directly engaged” etc. to another element, there are no intervening elements present. Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” “engaged” versus “directly engaged,” etc.). Similarly, a term such as “operatively”, such as when used as “operatively connected” or “operatively engaged” is to be interpreted as connected or engaged, respectively, in any manner that facilitates operation, which may include being directly connected, indirectly connected, electronically connected, wirelessly connected or connected by any other manner, method or means that facilitates desired operation. Similarly, a term such as “communicatively connected” includes all variations of information exchange and routing between two electronic devices, including intermediary devices, networks, etc., connected wirelessly or not. Similarly, “connected” or other similar language particularly for electronic components is intended to mean connected by any means, either directly or indirectly, wired and/or wirelessly, such that electricity and/or information may be transmitted between the components. 
     It will be understood that, although the ordinal terms “first,” “second,” etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited to any order by these terms unless specifically stated as such. These terms are used only to distinguish one element from another; where there are “second” or higher ordinals, there merely must be a number of elements, without necessarily any difference or other relationship. For example, a first element could be termed a second element, and, similarly, a second element could be termed a first element, without departing from the scope of example embodiments or methods. 
     Similarly, the structures and operations discussed herein may occur out of the order described and/or noted in the figures. For example, two operations and/or figures shown in succession may in fact be executed concurrently or may sometimes be executed in the reverse order, depending upon the functionality/acts involved. Similarly, individual operations within example methods described below may be executed repetitively, individually or sequentially, to provide looping or other series of operations aside from single operations described below. It should be presumed that any embodiment or method having features and functionality described below, in any workable combination, falls within the scope of example embodiments. 
     As used herein, various disclosed embodiments may be primarily described in the context of use in association with pocket hole jigs and other jigs and tools. However, the embodiments are not so limited.

     Clamp  88 : 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, docking station system  10  includes at least one clamp  88 . Clamp  88  may be formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to facilitate the connection of docking station system  10  to work surface  27  to provide a stable and secure connection thereby improving safety, accuracy and ease of use. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, a clamp  88  is formed of any clamping device. In the arrangement shown, as one example, clamp  88  is what is known as a generally C-shaped clamp or project clamp, however any other form of a clamping device is hereby contemplated for use. 
     In the arrangement shown as one example, clamp  88  includes a first section  90 , a second section  92 , a third section  94 , and an adjustment member  96 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, first section  90  extends in approximate perpendicular alignment to second section  92 , and third section  94  extends in approximate perpendicular alignment to second section  92  and in approximate parallel spaced alignment to first section  90  thereby forming an approximate C-shaped member. In the arrangement shown, as one example, adjustment member  96  includes a threaded shaft that extends through third section  94  and includes a knob at a lower end and a pad at an upper end. As the knob is rotated the threaded shaft rotates through third section  94  moving the pad up or down thereby tightening clamp  88  to work surface  27  when the clamp pad engages the lower surface of work surface or loosening clamp  88  when the clamp pad disengages from the work surface  27 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, to clamp docking station system  10  to work surface  27 , the forward end of first section  90  is inserted within clamp receiver  34 , lower face  108  of base section  28  is placed upon the upper surface of work surface  27  and the opening of the C-shaped clamp  88  is placed around the edge of work surface  27 . Once in this position, the knob of adjustment member  96  is rotated until the pad of adjustment member  96  engages the lower surface of work surface  27  until tight. Once in this position, docking station system  10  is secured in place and pocket hole jig system  24  may be installed upon docking station system  10  and pocket hole jigs can be formed without docking station  10  or pocket hole jig system  24  moving. This improves safety and increases accuracy of use of pocket hole jig system  24 . Plus, this increases the ease of use and functionality. 
     To remove docking station system  10  from work surface  27 , the knob of adjustment member  96  is rotated the opposite direction until the pad releases from work surface  27  and the docking station system  10  may be removed from work surface  27 . 
     Any other form of a clamp system may be used as clamp  88  in a similar or identical manner to that described herein. This includes the use of what are known as project clamps, such as those manufactured by Irwin among others that utilize a grip tightening mechanism.

In the arrangement shown, as one example, protrusion  140  extends upward from upper face  110  a distance and has a generally square or rectangular shape and terminates in an upper end that includes a pair flanges  142  that extend outward from the sides of protrusion  140 . However, any other size, shape and configuration for connection member  36  is hereby contemplated for use. 
     Connection member  36  of base section  28  of docking station system  10  is configured to be received within connection member  86  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  thereby locking pocket hole jig system  24  to docking station system  10 . Connection member  86  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  has a corresponding size and shape and configuration as connection member  36  of base section  28  of docking station system  10  so as to facilitate locking of pocket hole jig system  24  to docking station system  10 . 
     In one arrangement, connection member  86  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  is an opening in bottom side of base  78  and is placed over connection member  36  of base section  28  of docking station system  10 . In one arrangement, once connection member  86  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  is placed over connection member  36  of base section  28  of docking station system  10 , pocket hole jig system  24  is locked to docking station system  10  by sliding pocket hole jig system  24  forward relative to docking station system  10 , which engages the connection member  36  of base section  28  of docking station system  10  with the connection member  86  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  in a locking manner. In this arrangement, the flanges  142  of connection member  36  of base section  28  of docking station system  10  are received, engaged and locked to internal features of connection member  86  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24 . This prevents the unintentional removal of pocket hole jig system  24  from docking station system  10 . In this example arrangement, pocket hole jig system  24  can only be removed from docking station system  10  by sliding pocket hole jig system  24  rearward relative to docking station system  10  until the flanges  142  of connection member  36  of base section  28  of docking station system  10  are disengaged from the internal features of connection member  86  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24 . However, any other size, shape, placement or configuration is hereby contemplated for use. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, a pair of protrusions  144  extend rearward from rearward face  124  of upright section  30  of docking station system  10 . These protrusions  144  are configured to be received within recesses  146  in the forward side  148  of upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, protrusions  144  have a generally horizontal and flat lower surface that extends outward from rearward face  124  of upright section  30  a distance and includes an upper surface that angles forward as it extends upward. In this way, when viewed from the side, protrusions  144  have a generally triangular shape. 
     In this arrangement, when pocket hole jig system  24  is locked into place on docking station system  10  these protrusions  144  are received within similarly shaped recesses  146  in forward side  148  of upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24 . The engagement between the generally flat and horizontal lower surface of protrusions  144  with the upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24  prevents the forward end of pocket hole jig system  24  from rising or moving during use. However, any other size, shape, placement or configuration is hereby contemplated for use.

In the arrangement shown, as one example, indicia  62  are positioned adjacent the forward side of guide member  60  in the upper surface of top wall  54  of cover member  52 . 
     In this arrangement, when stop member  68  is installed on cover member  52 , indicia  62  is present adjacent stop member  68  thereby providing a repeatable and accurate indication of the position of stop member  68  thereby speeding and easing and increasing the accuracy of setting the position of stop member  68 . This is especially true when attempting to position a stop member  68  on each side of docking station system  10  at equal offsets to the center of docking station system  10 . 
     Lock Member  66 : 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, side supports  40  include a lock member  66 . Lock member  66  may be formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to selectively lock side support  40  in a retracted position in a quick, easy and secure manner. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, lock member  66  is connected to the forward positioned sidewall  50  of base member  44  of side support  40 , however any other placement is hereby contemplated for use. In the arrangement shown, as one example, lock member  66  includes a knob  162  having a hook member  164  and an axis of rotation, however any other configuration is hereby contemplated for use. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, knob  162  of lock member  66  is positioned on the forward side of sidewall  50  of base member  44  between hinges  154 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, hook member  164  extends outward from the peripheral edge of knob  162  before terminating in a free end. In this way, as knob  162  rotates, so rotates hook member  164 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, knob  162  includes a rearward extending protrusion that connects to and/or extends through sidewall  50  of base member  44  thereby forming axis of rotation  166 . That is, knob  162  and hook member  164  rotate upon base member  44  around axis of rotation  166 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, lock member  66  is configured to selectively lock side support  40  in a retracted position. In the arrangement shown, as one example, side support  40  is raised to a retracted position, wherein side support  40  is approximately vertical. In this position, knob  162  of lock member  66  is rotated. As knob  162  is rotated, the free end of hook member  164  is configured to engage lock member  38  of upright section  30  of docking station system  10  or upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, lock member  38  of upright section  30  of docking station system  10  or upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24  is formed of an opening that is configured to receive hook member  164  of lock member  66  of side support  40 , however any other configuration is hereby contemplated for use. 
     Once hook member  164  is received within or engaged with lock member  38  of upright section  30  of docking station system  10  or upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24  the side support  40  is locked in a retraced position for storage or transport. To lower side support  40  to an extended position, knob  162  is rotated in an opposite direction thereby disengaging hook member  164  from lock member  38  of upright section  30  of docking station system  10  or upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24  thereby allowing side support  40  to be lowered to an extended position for use. 
     Any other configuration is hereby contemplated for use as lock member  66 . As one example, lock member  66  and lock member  38  may swap positions. Alternatively, lock member  66  and lock member  38  may take on different configurations such as an elastic member, a loop and hook, a button and snap, a friction fit member, a threaded member, a spring loaded pin member, or any other mechanical arrangement that connects two components together or any combination thereof 
     Stop Member  68 : 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, docking station system  10  includes a stop member. Stop member  68  may be formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to form a positive stop for workpiece  26  to engage thereby setting the position for drilling a pocket hole in multiple similar sized workpieces  26  in a fast, accurate and repeatable manner. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, stop member  68  includes a main body  70 , an extension member  72  and a locking member  74 , among components and features. 
     Main Body  70 : In the arrangement shown, as one example, main body  70  extends a length between a forward end  168  and a rearward end  170  and extends a width between opposing sides  172  and extends a height between lower end  174  and upper end  176 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, forward end  168  is formed of a generally flat and straight plane whereas rearward end  170  is rounded. In the arrangement shown, as one example, sides  172  are formed of a generally flat and straight plane that extend in approximate parallel spaced relation to one another. In the arrangement shown, as one example, sides  172  are formed of a generally flat and straight plane that extend in approximate perpendicular alignment to the plane formed by forward end  168 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, lower end  174  and upper end  176  are formed of a generally flat and straight plane that extend in approximate parallel spaced relation to one another. In the arrangement shown, as one example, lower end  174  and upper end  176  are formed of a generally flat and straight plane that extend in approximate perpendicular alignment to the plane formed by forward end  168 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, lower end  174  and upper end  176  are formed of a generally flat and straight plane that extend in approximate perpendicular alignment to the planes formed by sides  172 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, forward end  168  of main body  70  includes a connection member  178  that is configured to engage a connection member  180  of extension member  72  of corresponding size, shape and configuration thereby selectively connecting main body  70  and extension member  72  in a removable but secure manner. In the arrangement shown, as one example, connection member  178  in forward end  168  of main body  70  is formed of a generally square or rectangular shaped protrusion with a locking feature or locking features therein. In the arrangement shown, as one example, connection member  180  in of extension member  72  is formed of a generally square or rectangular shaped recess with a locking feature or locking features therein. In this arrangement, extension member  72  is connected to main body  70  by placing the connection member  180  of extension member  72 , that is a recess, over the connection member  178  of main body  70 , that is a protrusion, and sliding the extension member  72  downward until the bottom plane of the extension member  72  and main body  70  are in approximate planar alignment with one another. 
     Once extension member  72  is installed upon main body  70 , extension member  72  and main body  70  are frictionally held together by frictional engagement between the connection member  178  of main body  70  and the connection member  180  of extension member  72 . To remove or adjust the position of extension member  72  relative to main body  70 , extension member  72  is simply slid upward relative to main body  70  thereby separating frictional engagement between the connection member  178  of main body  70  and the connection member  180  of extension member  72 . Once extension member  72  is removed from main body  70 , extension member  72  may be reattached to main body  70  by using a different connection member  180 , thereby changing the position of extension member  72  relative to main body  70 . Alternatively, main body  70  may be used without extension member  72 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, lower end  174  of main body  70  includes a receiver  182  that is formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to receive and engage guide member  60  of cover member  52  of side support  40 . Receiver  182  is formed of a corresponding size, shape and configuration as guide member  60  of cover member  52  of side support  40 . 
     In the arrangement shown, where guide member  60  is a relatively square or rectangular rail or protrusion that extends across cover member  52  of side support  40 , receiver  182  is a similarly shaped square or rectangular shaped recess or groove in the lower end  174  of main body  70 . In this example arrangement, the recess or groove in the lower end  174  of main body  70  that forms receiver  182  is configured to fit over guide member  60  with close and tight tolerances, while also allowing for sliding movement of main body  70  along the length of guide member  60 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, receiver  182  extends in approximate perpendicular alignment to the planes formed by side  172  of main body  70 . In this way, when main body  70  is attached to guide member  60 , main body  70  extends in a relatively perpendicular manner to guide member  60 . More specifically, the length of main body  70  between receiver  182  and forward end  168 , extends forward from guide member  60  a length in a generally perpendicular manner. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, locking member  74  is connected to main body  70 . 
     Extension Member  72 : In the arrangement shown, as one example, extension member  72  extends a length between a first end  184  and a second end  186  and extends a width between opposing sides  188  and extends a height between lower end  190  and upper end  192 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, first end  184  includes a generally flat and straight plane positioned at its center that trails off or angles off or curves off from this front plane toward sides  188  at its outward edges. In the arrangement shown, as one example, second end  186  is formed of a generally flat and straight plane. In the arrangement shown, as one example, sides  188  are formed of a generally flat and straight plane that extend in approximate parallel spaced relation to one another. In the arrangement shown, as one example, sides  188  are formed of a generally flat and straight plane that extend in approximate perpendicular alignment to the plane formed by first end  184  as well as second end  186 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, lower end  190  is formed of a generally flat and straight plane. In the arrangement shown, as one example, upper end  192  includes a generally flat and straight plane positioned at its center that trails off or angles off or curves off from this upper plane toward sides  188  at its outward edges. In the arrangement shown, as one example, the planes formed by lower end  190  and upper end  192  extend in approximate parallel spaced relation to one another. In the arrangement shown, as one example, lower end  190  and upper end  192  are formed of a generally flat and straight plane that extend in approximate perpendicular alignment to the plane formed by first end  184  and second end  186 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, lower end  190  and upper end  192  are formed of a generally flat and straight plane that extend in approximate perpendicular alignment to the planes formed by sides  188 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, extension member  72  is configured to be reversible. That is, both first end  184  and second end  186  include connection members  180  therein. In this way, extension member  72  can be connected to main body  70  with the first end  184  or second end  186  facing forward, depending on which connection member  180  is used to attach to main body  70 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, a connection member  180  is placed in first end  184  of extension member  72 . This connection member  180  is generally centrally positioned between opposing sides  188 . As such, when extension member  72  is connected to main body  70  using this connection member  180 , second end  186  faces forward and sides  188  extend equally past each side  172  of main body  70 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, two connection members  180  are placed in second end  186  of extension member  72 . These connection members  180  are positioned between the side  188  to side  188  center of extension member  72  and outward sides  188  of extension member  72 . As such, when extension member  72  is connected to main body  70  using one of these connection members  180 , first end  184  faces forward and one of the sides  188  extend a side  172  of main body  70  a distance. In this way, in this configuration, extension member  72  may reach over and past main body  70  a distance and over a portion of a base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24 . This arrangement may be particular useful for narrower workpieces  26 . The arrangement wherein a connection member  180  is placed adjacent each side  188  of extension member  72  in second end  186  allows extension member  72  to extend past either side  172  of main body  70 . This allows the same stop member  68  to be used on a side support  40  positioned on either side of docket station system  10  and/or pocket hole jig system  24 . 
     Locking Member  74 : In the arrangement shown, as one example, stop member  68  includes a locking member  74 . Locking member  74  is formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to facilitate selective locking and unlocking of stop member  68  relative to side support  40  and/or guide member  60 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, locking member  74  includes a knob  194 , fastener  196  and shoe  198 . Knob  194  is formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to be easily used by a user to tighten or loosen, engage or disengage, lock or unlock, locking member  74 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, knob  194  is a generally cylindrical shaped head that extends upward from the upper end  176  of main body  70  a distance and facilitates easy user engagement. In the arrangement shown, as one example, knob  194  connects to fastener  196  and as knob  194  rotates so rotates fastener  196 . 
     Fastener  196  is formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to connect to knob  194  and shoe  198  and transmit rotational motion of knob  194  to shoe  198 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, fastener  196  is formed of a shaft having at least a portion of when includes threads thereon. In one or more arrangements, fastener  196  also includes a head that connects to knob  194 . As knob  194  rotates so rotates fastener  196 . This rotation of fastener  196  transfers rotational motion to shoe  198 . 
     Shoe  198  is formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to connect to shoe  198  and transmit rotational motion of knob  194  and shoe  198  to a locking motion. In the arrangement shown, as one example, shoe  198 , when viewed from below, is formed of a generally square or rectangular or other non-round shape that is received within a similarly sized and shaped opening in the lower end  174  of main body  70 . The corresponding size of shoe  198  and the opening that shoe  198  is held within prevents the rotation of shoe  198  when fastener  196  rotates. This close and matching engagement between the opening in the lower end  174  of main body  70  and shoe  198  prevents shoe  198  from rotating. However, shoe  198  may move vertically within this opening in the lower end  174  of main body  70  as fastener  196  rotates. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, shoe  198  receives the lower end of fastener  196  in threaded engagement in a generally centrally positioned hole. As such, as the fastener  196  rotates, shoe  198  moves up or down due to the threaded engagement of shoe  198  and fastener  196 . 
     In the arrangement shown, shoe  198  is positioned within main body  79  adjacent receiver  182 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, a bias member  200  is positioned between shoe  198  and receiver  182 . In the arrangement shown, the side of shoe  198  that faces and engages bias member  200  has an angled surface that widens as it extends downward. Or, said another way, the side of shoe  198  that faces and engages bias member  200  is narrower at its upper end and is wider at its lower end. In one arrangement, bias member  200  includes a similar but opposite angled or curved or shaped surface that engages shoe  198 . In one arrangement, bias member  200  connects to main body  70  at a hinge positioned at the upper end of bias member  200 , which allows for the lower end of bias member to move inward and outward. 
     As such, as shoe  198  moves upward within main body  70  due to the rotation of knob  194  and shaft  196 , the engagement between shoe  198  and bias member  200  causes the lower end of bias member  200  to move outward. This outward movement of the lower end of bias member  200  causes bias member  200  to engage and tighten against guide member  60  of cover member  52  of side support  40 , thereby locking stop member  68  in place. 
     That is, to tighten stop member  68  in place, the user rotates knob  194  in a tightening direction that causes shoe  198  to move up which causes bias member  200  to move outward and engage and lock onto guide member  60  of cover member  52  of side support  40 , thereby locking stop member  68  in place. To adjust the position of stop member  68  relative to guide member  60  of cover member  52  of side support  40 , the user rotates knob  194  in a loosening direction which causes shoe  198  to move down that causes bias member  200  to move inward and disengage and unlock from guide member  60  of cover member  52  of side support  40 , thereby allowing stop member  68  to be slid along guide member  60  of cover member  52  of side support  40  to a different position or removed altogether.

However, any other form of a pocket hole jig system  24  is hereby contemplated for use. 
     Base  78 : In the arrangement shown, as one example, pocket hole jig system  24  includes a base  78 . Base  78  is formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to connect to upright assembly  80  and/or drill guide assembly  82  and/or clamp assembly  84  and provide a structural component of pocket hole jig system  24 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, base  78  has a generally flat lower surface  202  and an opposing generally flat upper surface  204  that extend in approximate parallel spaced relation to one another. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, the lower surface  202  of base  78  is configured to be placed upon and engage the upper face  110  of base section  28  in a generally flat and flush manner. In this way, when base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  is placed upon the upper face  110  of base section  28 , due to the flat and flush engagement between these two components a stable and secure connection is made. In the arrangement shown, as one example, the forward end of base  78  connects to the lower end of upright assembly  80  and the rearward end of base  78  connects to clamp assembly  84 . 
     Upright Assembly  80 : In the arrangement shown, as one example, pocket hole jig system  24  includes an upright assembly  80 . Upright assembly  80  is formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to connect to base  78  and provide a back stop for workpiece  26  on a side opposite drill guide assembly  82  and/or clamp assembly  84 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, upright assembly  80  has a generally flat forward surface  148  and an opposing generally flat rearward surface  206  that extend in approximate parallel spaced relation to one another. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, the forward surface  148  of upright assembly  80  is configured to be placed against and engage the rearward face  124  of upright section  30  in a generally flat and flush manner. In this way, when upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24  is placed against the rearward face  124  of upright section  30 , due to the flat and flush engagement between these two components, upright section  30  of docking station system  10  provides additional support and strength to upright assembly  80  thereby preventing deformation during clamping. In the arrangement shown, as one example, the lower end of upright assembly  80  connects to the forward end of base  78 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, the generally flat rearward surface  206  is configured to engage and support the forward facing surface of workpiece  26  when clamped. 
     Drill Guide Assembly  82 : In the arrangement shown, as one example, pocket hole jig system  24  includes a drill guide assembly  82 . Drill guide assembly  82  is formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to connect to pocket hole jig system  24  and facilitates the guidance and alignment of a drill bit at an angle through workpiece  26  so as to form a pocket hole in workpiece  26 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, drill guide assembly  82  includes a plurality of drill guides  208  therein. In the arrangement shown, as one example, three drill guides  208  are shown in use, however any other number are hereby contemplated for use. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, drill guide assembly  82  connects to clamping assembly  84  and moves as clamping assembly  84  clamps and unclamps. However, in another arrangement, it is hereby contemplated that drill guide assembly  82  remains stationary as clamping assembly  84  clamps and unclamps. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, drill guide assembly  82  includes a forward surface  210  that is generally flat and straight. In the arrangement shown, as one example, forward surface  210  extends in a generally parallel spaced alignment to the rearward surface  206  of upright assembly  80 . In this way, in the arrangement shown, as one example, when clamping assembly  84  clamps, drill guide assembly  82  moves toward upright assembly  80  thereby clamping workpiece  26  between upright assembly  80  and drill guide assembly  82 . When clamped, the forward facing surface of workpiece  26  is in flat and flush engagement with the rearward surface  206  of upright assembly  80 , the lower surface of workpiece  26  is in flat and flush engagement with the upper surface  204  of base  78 , and the rearward facing surface of workpiece  26  is in flat and flush engagement with the forward surface  210  of drill guide assembly  82 . In this way, workpiece  26  is securely clamped in place within pocket hole jig system  24  within docking station system  10 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, rearward side of drill guide assembly  82  connects to clamp assembly  84 , which moves drill guide assembly between a clamped position and an unclamped position. 
     Clamping Assembly  84 : In the arrangement shown, as one example, pocket hole jig system  24  includes a clamping assembly  84 . Clamping assembly  84  is formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to facilitate clamping of workpiece  26 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, clamping assembly  84  is connected to base  78  as well as drill guide assembly  82  and includes a clamping mechanism. In the arrangement shown, as one example, clamp assembly  84  is configured to move drill guide assembly  82  forward in a clamping direction to perform a clamping operation. In the arrangement shown, as one example, clamp assembly  84  is configured to move drill guide assembly  82  rearward in an unclamping direction to perform an unclamping operation. It is also contemplated that drill guide assembly  82  may be on an opposite side as clamp assembly  84  and is configured to clamp workpiece  26  against drill guide assembly  82  instead of upright assembly  80 . 
     Any other configuration is hereby contemplated for use for pocket hole jig system  24  and any component thereof. 
     Connection Member  86 : In the arrangement shown, as one example, pocket hole jig system  24  includes a connection member  86 . Clamping assembly  84  is formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to facilitate clamping of workpiece  26 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, clamping assembly  84  is connected to base  78  as well as drill guide assembly  82  and includes a clamping mechanism. In the arrangement shown, as one example, clamp assembly  84  is configured to move drill guide assembly  82  forward in a clamping direction to perform a clamping operation. In the arrangement shown, as one example, clamp assembly  84  is configured to move drill guide assembly  82  rearward in an unclamping direction to perform an unclamping operation. It is also contemplated that drill guide assembly  82  may be on an opposite side as clamp assembly  84  and is configured to clamp workpiece  26  against drill guide assembly  82  instead of upright assembly  80 . 
     Connection member  86  of lower surface  202  base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  is formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to facilitate the selective engagement of pocket hole jig system  24  with docking station  10  and the selective removal of pocket hole jig system  24  with docking station  10 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, connection member  86  has a corresponding size and shape and configuration as connection member  36  of base section  28  of docking station system  10  so as to facilitate locking of pocket hole jig system  24  to docking station system  10 . 
     In one arrangement, connection member  86  of lower surface  202  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  is an opening in lower surface  202  of base  78  and is placed over connection member  36  of base section  28  of docking station system  10 . In one arrangement, once connection member  86  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  is placed over connection member  36  of base section  28  of docking station system  10 , pocket hole jig system  24  is locked to docking station system  10  by sliding pocket hole jig system  24  forward relative to docking station system  10  which engages the connection member  36  of base section  28  of docking station system  10  with the connection member  86  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  in a locking manner. In this arrangement, the flanges  142  of connection member  36  of base section  28  of docking station system  10  are received, engaged and locked to internal features of connection member  86  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24 . This prevents the unintentional removal of pocket hole jig system  24  from docking station system  10 . This provides a safe and secure and strong connection that can be quickly formed without any tools. In this example arrangement, pocket hole jig system  24  can only be removed from docking station system  10  by sliding pocket hole jig system  24  rearward relative to docking station system  10  until the flanges  142  of connection member  36  of lower surface  202  of base section  28  of docking station system  10  are disengaged from the internal features of connection member  86  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24 . However, any other size, shape, placement or configuration is hereby contemplated for use as connection member  86 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, when pocket hole jig system  24  is fully installed upon docking station system  10 , a pair of protrusions  144  that extend rearward from rearward face  124  of upright section  30  of docking station system  10  engage and are received within recesses  146  in the forward surface  148  of upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24 . In this arrangement, when pocket hole jig system  24  is locked into place on docking station system  10 , these protrusions  144  are received within similarly shaped recesses  146  in forward side  148  of upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24 . The engagement between the generally flat and horizontal lower surface of protrusions  144  with the upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24  prevents the forward end of pocket hole jig system  24  from rising or moving during use. However, any other size, shape, placement or configuration is hereby contemplated for use. In this way, when pocket hole jig system  24  is installed upon docking station  10 , the base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  is connected to base section  28  of docking station system  10  and upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24  is secured to upright section  30  of docking station system  10 . This dual connection arrangement provides increased strength and rigidity to the connection between pocket hole jig system  24  and docking station system  10 . 
     In Operation: 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, when pocket hole jig system  24  is installed upon docking station system  10 , side supports  40  may be moved between an extended position and a retracted position by rotation of hinge member  42  of side supports  40  on hinge member  32  of docking station system  10 . 
     In an extended position, side supports  40  extend outward from base section  28  of docking station system  10  in a generally horizontal manner. In this position, the base section  28  and side supports  40  rest upon the same plane formed by the upper surface of work surface  27 . In this position, the upper surface of  204  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  is in approximate planar alignment with the upper surface of cover member  52  of side supports  40 . In this position, a workpiece  26  may be seamlessly slid across the upper surface  204  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  as well as the upper surface of cover member  52  of side supports  40  in a seamless and uninterrupted manner as they essentially form the same plane. Similarly, when a workpiece  26  is placed upon the upper surface  204  of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  the workpiece  26  is seamlessly supported by the upper surfaces of cover member  52  of side supports  40  if it extends to overlap side supports  40  as they essentially form the same plane. 
     Once the side supports  40  are extended, and the pocket hole jig system  24  is installed upon docking station system  10 , parts and components, such as drill bits, screws, stop collars, drivers, and the like, may be removed from the hollow interior  64  of side supports  40  by opening cover member  52  by lifting up on lip  158  of cover member  52 . As lip  158  of cover member  52  is lifted up, lip  158  of cover member  52  separates from lip  156  of base member  44  and cover member  52  rotates upon hinge  154 , thereby exposing hollow interior  64 . Cover member  52  may be closed by simply pressing downward upon cover member  52  causing cover member  52  to rotate upon hinge  154  until cover member  52  closes and lip  158  of cover member  52  engages lip  156  of base member  44 . 
     When drilling pocket holes in multiple workpieces  26  of the same size, stop member  68  may be set so that a pocket hole is drilled in precisely the same location on multiple workpieces  26 . To do so, stop member  68  is installed upon guide member  60  and slid to the desired location. Positioning may be precisely achieved by using indicia  62  of cover member  52  to ensure stop members  68  on each side support  40  are in precisely the same location. Once in the desired location, the locking member  74  is engaged by rotating knob  194 , thereby locking stop member  68  rigidly in place upon guide member  60 . Once locked in place, multiple workpieces  26  may be slid against stop member  68  without stop member  68  moving. This increases the speed of drilling pocket holes in multiple workpieces  26  in a fast and accurate manner. 
     Once pocket hole jig system  24  is installed upon docking station system  10  and side supports  40  are deployed, workpiece  26  may be quickly and easily clamped in place by placing workpiece  26  on the upper surface  204  of base  78  and engaging the clamp assembly  84  of pocket hole jig system  24  until workpiece  26  is clamped between upright assembly  80  and drill guide assembly  82 , at which point pocket holes may be formed by passing a drill bit through drill guides  208 . Once the desired pocket holes have been formed, the workpiece  26  may be removed by disengaging the clamp assembly  84  and removing workpiece  26 . 
     Once the user is done using the pocket hole jig system  24 , the pocket hole jig system  24  may be removed from the docking station system  10  by sliding the pocket hole jig system  24  rearward relative to docking station system  10  until pocket hole jig system  24  separates from docking station system  10 . Alternatively, once the user is done using the pocket hole jig system  24 , the pocket hole jig system  24  may be left attached to the docking station system  10 . 
     Either way, if pocket hole jig system  24  is removed from or remains attached to docking station system  10 , to reduce the footprint of docking station system  10  and provide a more compact arrangement for storage and/or transport, side supports  40  may be moved to the retracted position. To do this, the user lifts up on the outward end of side supports  40  thereby causing rotation of hinge member  42  of side supports  40  on hinge member  32  of docking station system  10 . This rotation continues until the side supports  40  are essentially in a vertical alignment, or a retracted position. 
     Once side supports  40  are in the retracted position, side supports  40  may be locked in place using lock member  66 . To lock side supports  40  in a retracted position, knob  162  of lock member  66  is rotated until hook member  164  engages lock member  38  of upright section  30  of docking station system  10 , or alternatively, lock member  38  of upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24 . Once hook member  164  of lock member  66  engages lock member  38  of docking station system  10  or pocket hole jig system  24 , side support  40  is locked in a compact retracted position and is easily stored and/or transported. 
     Side supports  40  can be quickly and easily deployed by disengaging lock member  66  and rotating side supports  40  downward again, which is easy and convenient to do. In this way, the combination of docking station system  10  and pocket hole jig system  24  provide a more-easily deployed system than has every before existed that provides improved support, improved stability, improved accuracy, improved ease of use, and improved ease of transportation and storage. 
     Adapter Bracket  98 : 
     An alternative arrangement of docking station system  10  is shown in use with respect to  FIGS. 31-60 . In this arrangement, docking station system  10  includes the use of adapter brackets  98 . All of the teaching and disclosure presented herein applies equally to the configuration of docking station system  10  having adapter brackets  98 , unless specifically stated otherwise. 
     Adapter brackets  98  are formed of any suitable size, shape and design and are configured to connect to base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  as well as facilitate connection of side support  40  to base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, adapter brackets  98 , includes a base section  100 , a hinge member  102  and connection members  104 . Notably, unlike the previously disclosed embodiment of docking station system  10 , while this embodiment of docking station system  10  includes a base section  100  (which functionally may be similar to base section  28  in the previously disclosed embodiment of docking station system  10 ) this embodiment does not include an upright section (which functionally may be similar to upright section  30  in the previously disclosed embodiment of docking station system  10 ). 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, adapter brackets  98  has a base section  100 . Base section  100  is formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to engage base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  and facilitate connection of side support  40  to the adapter bracket  98 , which connects side support  40  to pocket hole jig system  24 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, base section  100  includes a lower surface  212  and an opposing upper surface  214 , an inward surface  216  and an outward end  218  and opposing ends  220 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, lower surface  212  and upper surface  214  are formed of a generally flat and straight plane that extend in approximate parallel spaced relation to one another. In the arrangement shown, as one example, inward end  216  and outward end  218  are formed of a generally flat and straight plane that extend in approximate parallel spaced relation to one another. In the arrangement shown, as one example, opposing ends  220  are formed of a generally flat and straight plane that extend in approximate parallel spaced relation to one another. In the arrangement shown, as one example, the planes formed by lower surface  212  and upper surface  214  extend in approximate perpendicular alignment to the planes formed by inward end  216  and outward end  218 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, the planes formed by lower surface  212  and upper surface  214  extend in approximate perpendicular alignment to the planes formed by opposing ends  220 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, the planes formed by inward end  216  and outward end  218  extend in approximate perpendicular alignment to the planes formed by opposing ends  220 . In this way, the generally flat and straight planes of lower surface  212  and an opposing upper surface  214 , an inward surface  216  and an outward end  218 , and opposing ends  220  form a generally square or rectangular base section  100 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, the upper end of outward end  218  angles toward inward end  216  part way up as it extends toward upper surface  214  so as to provide for room for base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, hinge members  102  are functionally and structurally equivalent, if not identical, to hinge members  32  previously described herein. As such, the same side supports  40  may be used with adapter brackets  98  as may be used with the previously described embodiment of docking station system  10 . As such, so as to avoid redundancy, disclosure and teaching presented herein with respect to hinge members  32  applies to hinge members  102  of adapter bracket  98 . Hinge members  102 , like hinge members  32  include hinge portion  134  and receive hinge portion  136  of side supports  40  and facilitate rotation of side supports  40  on adapter bracket  98  between an extended position and a retracted position. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, upper surface  214  of adapter bracket  98  includes one or more connection members  104  therein. Connection members  104  are formed of any suitable size, shape and design and are configured to facilitate the fast, easy, accurate and secure attachment of adapter bracket  98  to base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24 . Connection members  104  allow for easy and secure installation as well as easy removal. 
     Connection members  104  are formed of any form of a device that connects two components together. In the arrangement shown, as one example, a pair of connection members  104  are positioned in spaced alignment in the upper surface  214  of adapter bracket  98  and are formed of a pair of locking post mechanisms having a narrower shaft  222  that extends upward from the upper surface  214  of adapter bracket  98  that connects to a wider head  224 . In the arrangement shown, as one example both shaft  222  and head  224  are cylindrical in shape, with head  224  having a larger diameter than shaft  222 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, base section  100  is configured to be received within a pocket  226  in the lower side of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24 . The upper end of this pocket  226  in pocket hole jig system  24  includes connection members  86  that are sized and shaped to receive the connection members  104  of adapter bracket  98 . In the arrangement shown, as one example, connection members  86  of pocket  226  are formed of key holes having a wider section that allows for the passage of head  224  there through that is connected to a narrower section that receives shaft  222  therein but does not allow for the passage of head  224  there through. 
     In this arrangement, adapter bracket  98  is inserted into the pocket  226  in the lower end of base  78 . The heads  224  of connection members  104  are inserted through the wider portions of the keyholes of the connection members  86  in base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24 . Once heads  224  are inserted through the wider portions of the keyholes of the connection members  86  in base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  the adapter bracket  98  is slid forward (or alternatively rearward, or sideways, or any other direction depending on the configuration of the keyholes) until the shafts  222  move from the wider section of the key holes into the narrower section of the keyholes. 
     In one arrangement, the tolerances of keyholes of connection members  86  of base  78  are such that friction is imparted upon shaft  222  when it moves from the wider portion of keyholes to the narrower portion of keyholes, which prevents adapter bracket  98  from freely sliding between the narrower portion of keyholes and the wider portion of keyholes. As such, user imparted force must be applied to overcome the friction imparted by connection members  86  when shafts  222  are held within the narrower portion of keyholes of connection members  86  to move shafts  222  to the wider portion of key holes of connection members  86 . This provides a secure connection when adapter bracket  98  is installed upon base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24 . 
     Once in the locked position the heads  224  are retained by the keyholes of connection member  86 . Heads  224  cannot pull through the narrower portion of keyholes of connection member  86 . In this position, adapter bracket  98  is locked to base  78 . 
     In this position, an arm of adapter bracket  98  that connects to hinge member  102  extends through a recess, groove or slot in the lower side of base  78  of pocket hole jig system  24  that connects to pocket  226 . The outward end of this arm includes hinge member  102  thereon. In this position, side support  40  may be installed on hinge member  102  and used in the manner described herein. 
     Adapter bracket  98  may be quickly and easily removed from base  78  by sliding adapter bracket  98  in an opposite direction from the installation direction, and then removed by pulling heads  224  through the wider portion of the keyholes of connection member  86  of base  78 . 
     In this way another configuration of docking station system  10  is presented that provides similar if not identical benefits to those described herein with respect to other configurations of a docking station system  10 . 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, side supports  40  may be locked in a retracted position by engagement of the lock member  66  with the lock member  38 , which in this case is connected to the upright assembly  80  of pocket hole jig system  24 . More specifically, in the arrangement shown, as one example, lock member  38  is positioned in the outward side of upright assembly  80  and is formed of an opening, recess, slot, groove or pocket that is configured to receive the hook member  164  of lock member  66  when in a locked position. Side supports  40  may quickly and easily be lowered by unhooking lock member  66  from lock member  38  for use. 
     In the arrangement shown, as one example, both adapter brackets  98  and base section  28  include holes  228  therein that are configured to receive fasteners  106  there through that are used to secure docking station system  10  to work surface  27 . Holes  228  are positioned between hinge members  102  and base section  100  of adapter brackets  98 . Similarly, holes  228  are positioned between base section  28  and hinge members  32 . Any other location is hereby contemplated for use.
