Hi Glen, Welcome to Kreg, it seems things are a little slow here right now but I am sure it will speed up once winter passes and all the holidays as well.  I am a beginner too but my husband is pretty good at woodworking though.  I like Kreg products, they seem pretty straightforward on use of them.

Hi Glen.  I live in Western Canada and have been retired for over a decade now.  I'm also new to woodworking and have now completed two Kreg projects and have submitted sequential photos of these projects for our Kreg Community.  I'm not a 'speedster', so I take my time and make minor adjustments to suit my personal tastes.  I have found that working with wood is so very relaxing and allows 'creative juices' to flow.  My first project was to make a storage setup for my Kreg 4 Jig.  My second project was to make a simple stand for my circular saw.  For sanding purposes, I use a Rockwell Sonicrafter...it's handy, because I can hold the workpiece in one hand and utilize the Sonicrafter with the other hand, in some instances....it's great for rounding-off corners, as well.  I also have a Rockwell Bladerunner which frees up both hands in order to guide a workpiece.  I don't have a dedicated workshop, so these portable units come in mighty handy.  I have also found that the Kreg screws to be 'the best' and they are not/not expensive.  I hope you enjoy your new hobby. 

A few of my early projects, mostly reclaimed wood. These were pryor to my kreg jig purchase, but after watching some videos, I went right out and purchased one. I will be using the jignon my night stands to match the headboard

Free Hand Guard (dust collection)

Hi.  I'm wondering if anyone has used the Woodpecker Free Hand Guard for dust collection on their bench top router table during pattern routing.  How effective is it?  It's adaptable to any router table.  Continue

New Kreg 720Pro

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…
