Kreg Owners' Community

I have recently retired.  I have always wanted to build a shop where I can relax and build wood projects.   I have just completed a garage / shop where the shop will be set up.   Being interested also in organization and effective use of space I am looking for shop layouts / cabinets and tools storage I can build.  I have purchased a Dewalt table saw as my first power tool.  A router table would be an awesome second tool to help me with the building of the storage and cabinets. I saw the Kreg Pocket Jig bought it and can't wait to use it on cabinets after I practice a bit more.  I also bought the Shelf Peg hole jig which I have used in my kitchen adding some shelves for my wife.  I would like any input for shop design and essential power tools I all need.  In the title I mentioned Lean.  I Plan on having a place for everything and everything in its place labeled.  Please help the novice.

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
