[Jon]

Hi, my name is Jon and I am from Newcastle Maine. Been doing woodwork in one form or another since high school in the '70's. Mostly I have been doing lathe work with bowls. platters and pens. Time to move on to some other challenges as I need some new bookcases and display cabinets where the Kreg jigs will sure come in handy. I am sure I will be visiting here often looking for tips and tricks to complete my next projects.

Hi - My Name is Debi and I am from Connecticut. I retired (to become a 27/7 caregiver) a few years ago and always enjoyed "banging things together" as needed. I always loved making things and thought being home more often now maybe I would have time to build a real workshop and maybe build some furniture on my own. I actually bought the K3 about 20 years ago from a TV commercial but never really got to use it. I now have one floor, ranch style house I am rehabbing as I go, with a basement, part of which I think would make a nice albeit tight work area, So, at 68 I am going to try my hand at real woodworking. Thank you.

My name is Wesley, I live in Alabama but I'm a MIZZOU, KC Chiefs and Royals fan.  I've done wood working on and off all my life.  Recently I transformed a 16' aluminum row boat into a mini Bass Boat using the Kreg Jig to join all my work.  Go to YouTube Tiny Boat Nation.  Mike's first builds were with wood, now he uses aluminum.  But to to Biden's ruining this country, wood was all I could afford as I'm a Disabled Vet on a limited income.  I took pics from start to end and tested this winter in Okeechobee, Fl.  Awesome boat.

Hello, I'm Glen, a licensed taxi owner who has recently ventured into woodworking in my sixties. I crafted a table using old pallets, which now serves as my workbench in the shed. While exploring woodworking ideas online, I discovered the KJ4 tool and thought it would be perfect for my projects, so I purchased it. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to get the newer K5 model by just a couple of weeks. Since getting the KJ4, I've created two stools—one for fun and another for the kitchen to reach high shelves. The kitchen stool has shorter legs to fit under the cooker and add reach without getting in the way.
