Rachael.

Looks like great work so far, an overall well done is in order!

Note:

If you are using particle board with melamine coating drive the screws initally with a driver drill then finish them off with a hand held driver (most multi bit sets have Robinson drivers in the set other wise use the hex adapter in a handle.

That way you can get a "feel" for the amount of force required, a matter of practice.

Hi My name is Jimmy and I live in SC. I am new to working with wood but my dad always worked with wood and built a lot of items but of course he had the tools to do that with. I have just purchased my Kreg Jig 3 and hope to be able to make some things for my wife

My name is Lalen and I live in North Texas, Dallas area. I've done some wood work projects occasionally for the last 30 years, but mainly rough stuff.  Workbenches & shelves for the garage, dog house, etc.  About a year and a half ago my wife wanted a new coffee table and end tables...  showed me what she wanted and the price at the store "yikes" so I thought I'd try to build something.  I purchased the Kreg jig to make the table tops, so that was my first indoor woodwork project.  I just made a farmhouse dining table for my daughter, so I guess I'm getting hooked.  I look forward to exploring this site for project ideas you guys came up with and learning from your collective experience.

welcome i am from new mexico nice too meet you.

Hi guys, My name's Allen and I live in Northampton, England. I've just completed my first ever woodwork furniture project and used a Kreg HD jig. I'd like it to be the first of many as I really enjoyed myself. I'm looking forward to meeting and learning from all you experts :)

I loved woodworking and have some experience in building my kitchen cabinets. I just bought the Kreg DIY Project Kit to start a big project to build my living room. I quite interested in built in project for shelves or cabinets and looking forward to being a part of this community.

Hi, My name is Doug Wiley and I'm in Boise, ID.  I'm brand new to this world of Kreg and so far absolutely love it.  I would have started building furniture years ago if I had known about this tool.  I have built a King size headboard so far and plan on starting nightstands soon.
