I just today saw the plan for the storage unit. I wish I would have seen this before this past weekend. I made a Kreg workspace. It is simply a 1' by 2' piece of birch plywood with miter bars attached to the bottom. I can slide it on my tablesaw (fence removed, and blade lowered). It makes for a nice surface to drill pocket holes. I was happy with the results.
Then I saw this plan...
Now I want a shelf on mine. I think I'm going to use what I've already got as the top and then make the rest of it.
One question. On the plan it says to use the MicroJig. I don't yet have one. Will the normal jig work?

To answer your question, yes it will work; I did have to use 1" screws though. My first one was made from scrap 1/2" plywood and will get good wood for the finished product. I want to store all the components from the Kreg Jig® Master System. The problem is that the Portable Base is 2 1/2" and will not fit in the drawer. I am going to make another and will increase the height to accommodate the Portable Base. I may also make another drawer to hold the Screws.
I have made another with a deeper drawer and made it using 3/4" oak. It is not as light as the one made of plywood. I set it on my workbench and use the bench vice to hole it in place. If I could figure how to upload a photo I would add one.

Dennis,
Nice to see that you keep an ''ax'' close by.
Never know when one has to ''whittle'' a little off, to get the right fit.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
