Hello, my name is Guy and I live in Tucson Arizona. I have been doing woodworking for years and I just purchased a Kreg kit. I am using 3/4 plywood ( "23/32") and 1 1/4 coarse screws. The problem is that the points are going through the surface of the piece. I have tried to lower the setting on the drill but it still goes through. I am tightening until I see a bit of the glue squeeze out. What am I doing wrong?
Guy, I think you are using screws that are too long. If you use the one inch rather than the one and a quarter inch, I think you will be happier. Also, do you have the collar on your drill bit at the correct setting, this could be your problem as well. Just a couple of thoughts from a fairly novice woodworker. Mgoo

Hi guy my name is Tom and I'm from chicago. I,m wondering if you have the right measurement from the "shoulder" of the drill bit?
Antoine boyd said:I used three coats of Minwax sand and sealer. Keep in mind that oak is porous wood. So, what I did was to stain the wood first and pure the sealer on sparingly and using a Bondo putty applicator, I squeegeed into the pores. after that I sprayed two more coats and let them dry for a couple days and come back with three coats of polyurethane. I used semi gloss. That was my preference for this piece. When doing a large job like this, it helps to stain and apply the sealer to the wood before cutting it into pieces and on the final coats spray the finish on.
Josh Speece said:Antoine, the ent center looks really nice. My TV already hangs on the wall, so I am going to build two side units to flank it, a base underneath, and a top case to run between the two side units.
What did you use for the finish? I am probably going to want to stain for a darker color. I have never stained/finished before, so I am a little nervous about that step. Hoping I can get some good tips on here though.
Hi Ya'll,
My name is Barbara and I'm from Charleston, SC. Have finished the first project using the Kreg Jig.
This is a table I just finished. It is flat and square. I used a miter saw to cut the small pieces and the Kreg Jig to join all the parts. I have always wanted to make a table that didn't wabble. WOW! can't wait to start another project.
Looks great Barb............Did you taper the legs? Wayne

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…
