Hello, my name is Steve. Mt first project was an entertainment system for my sister about 25 years ago when I was in High School. Since then I have done small projects but I have been in construction building and remodeling homes. I bought a house about a year ago with plans to renovate it room by room and has been going very slow but nice (one man operation with some help on the side). there is an enclosed pole building here that I've been working on setting up as a woodshop. I've had the table saw, miter saw, drill press, router and other hand tools. So I bought a band saw and planer to finishmy collection for now. I bought the Kreg Jig to start building my kitchen cabinets but got a little side tracked with building shop equipment! I've built a beautiful router table, new table for the radial arm saw, new table for the drill press and a work platform for the Kreg Jig itself. Now that these things are done I can work on the cabinets. The Kreg Jib makes it so easy and fast to put things together without long setup times.

[Flip Arnold]

Hello, my name is Flip and I live in Washington State. I have done woodworking off and on for about 15 years. I had always been interesting in owning a Kreg jig and finally bought one. I am playing around with it now and I intend to build kitchen cabinets next fall as part of a remodel.

[Al Phelps]

Hi, my name is Al. Finally got my woodshop moved from the garage to a 12'x20' Tuff Shed. One of my wife's wishes for Mother's day was to regain the use of the garage, just made it! I got the Master Jig for my birthday to help build rolling cabinets for my planer and router table, now I'm ready to build.

[Doug Rowland]

My name is Doug.  I live north of Dallas, TX.

 

I'm more of a "handy-man" type wood work.  I've built some furniture, but mostly I'm into building garden boxes, decks, fences, and things for my workshop/garage/wife's parking area.

 

My garage had been so messy, I couldn't do anything in it for a year or so.  I finally finished cleaning it out.  I've already finished a few projects.  Got a Kreg Master kit a few weeks ago.  Finally used it for the first time.  Really neat.

[Dolores Wilkes]

Hi - My name is Dolores and I live in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks.  I have been woodworking for about 25 years.  I mostly build furniture and especially enjoy designing and building something to fit a specific place or use - something you can't buy at a store.  I have used biscuits and dowels in the past but got a Kreg Master System for Christmas and look forward to learning to use it better.

[Barry Collord]

Hello Ray. I too shop at Woodcrafters in Manchester, and I also have a Shopsmith (520 upgrade) with bandsaw and jointer. I use a seperate belt/spindle sander along with other periferals.  I also purchase wood from Moore Bros. Sawmill in Bloomfield. All rough cut and both kiln dried and air dried. Give them a try
