<p>Hello everybody. I am new to the Kreg world and was hoping to get a little help in choosing the right kind of wood to make garage cabinets. I will be making a 6' 8' H x 64" W standing cabinet and 8'-long upper cabinets. Also making a 6' workbench. I just purchased the Kreg K4 Jig and the Kreg HD Jig. Any info, help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. </p>
