John,

That's a very nice looking design.

Thanks for sharing.

Kreg Rep.  I didnt pick up on it but the clamps in the middle but it kind of sets it off.  i did use the clamps on the main box but i had to use a little MONGO force to keep it from moving slightly.  thank goodness for 60 grit.  I did use the Kreg Face Clamps for the front frame of the Chevron.  I had to play with the height to see where i needed to set the jig for each angle.  I did keep the drill bit set at the material thickness.  i havent seen many project using the Kreg Jig with other angles other than the 90 degree joints.  I will say using the Kreg Jig for this project definately made this 10x easier than I thought it was going to be.

the link above is my workshop site. I would say a good 90-95% of what i build, I use the Kreg Jig.  So far everyone that i talk to that gets into wood working, I highly recommend them getting the Kreg Jig.  So far i have not heard any complaints.

Great project, John! Really demonstrates the Kreg Jig being used for a variety of difficult angles! Did the pocket-holes simplify the clamping process?
