Hello. My name is Darren and I live in Elgin, Oklahoma.  I guess I consider myself a hobbyist woodworker. I bought the Kreg Master System because it really seemed to fulfill one of the most frustrating parts of woodworking for a beginner like me...joinery. I've looked at some of the photos from members here and I'm really impressed. I hope to do as well some day by building up my skills. Thanks for the inspiration!

Tom,

You are here, now just go to Product Reviews and all will be revealed, the kreg deck jig is a great asset in the layout of materials.

Hi, my name is Mike and I work in Saudi Arabia but my house is in Guatemala. I am not so impressed with the skills of many tradesmen there, so prefer to try and do things myself. That way, if it's a bit wonky I can only blame myself, rather than have high blood pressure getting mad with other people who supposedly knew what they were doing. I just bought my Kreg kit from a shop in Bahrain, and hopefully enough screws to last me over the summer break, although I am not oversure on that. I plan to start with a bed base and bookshelf headboard, and move onto some cabinets for the kitchen.

[Kevin D Hauskins]

Hi - My name is Kevin Hauskins from the Cedar Rapids, IA area. I've always loved woodworking but unfortunately I can't really afford a lot of the equipment I would like to have. I was asked recently to fabricate a  few storm windows for an old $350,000 home. I had just bought my first Kreg jig and it was so easy. I just cut my pieces, drilled the holes and screwed it together, plugged the holes and painted it. Three windows in about 2 hours. Can't wait to see what all I can do with my Kreg.

Hello and welcome Kevin

Cedar Rapids eh from memory Boeing had a fairly big establishment there.

They were not into woodworking though I think the just fooled about with aircraft.

Not to worry there is more to life than Boeing.

Hi! My name Felipe and I'm in Hayward, CA. I’m a beginner and I know enough to be dangerous. I know the basics and I’ve done okay here and there but I’d like to step up and build more professional looking projects. I remodeled my bathroom with help from friends, laid tile, hung drywall, stuff like that. Just got the Kreg Toolboxx Master Collection for Father’s Day and can’t wait to make the workbench. I’m looking forward to talking to you all!

G'day,

My name is Sean and I'm from Melbourne, AUSTRALIA. I've always had an interest in wood and wood work and hope to draw on your experiences to help produce some master pieces :)

I have a 2 day old Kreg K3 Master System that is busting to go to work. First project, new closet shelves.

Hello,

My name is Roger.  I recently enjoyed a vacation in Yellowstone National Park.  I saw a rustic coffee table in one of the lodges that has inspired me to build my own.  I think it would be a good application for my pocket hole jig.  I am hoping to find some similar projects and pick up some clues on how to start.  I have used the jig once or twice on some simple funiture fix/repairs, but not much from the ground up.
