Hi, I'm Walt in Western NY. Been interested in woodworking almost forever. Recently retired, an looking forwrad to spending more time on it. My last project was repairing a dining room chair for my son. Little tougher than it appeared, but it came out well. My next majorv project will be converting a sideboard into a bar for my daughter. I'll be adding wne racks, glass doors and a top unit. Recently bought the Kre master system, and look forwrad to using it on this project.

My name is Tony. I consider myself an intermediate wood worker. I have used Kreg products with some success except for the micro jig. More practice needed I guess but I look forward to working with it.

Hi my name is Mike, I'm from Montana. I have done a few woodworking projects in the past but had never used pocket holes until my current project, a mobile kitchen island. It works great.

Hi my name is Sue Engel. I live in Tacoma WA. i have building things since I can remember. I would help my Dad when he was building houses. I am in the process of remodeling my up stairs. I'm on here for learning as much as I can. I always have questions.

[Wayne Kivi]

I've done woodworking for a long time but nothing too complicated. I read about the Kreg jigs in a tool catalog and decided to try it. I've never been too good at joinery and thought that this may be good for me. My first project was a coffee table for my daughter and it turned out great. I love my Kreg Jr Jig and have been checking out some other stuff including the router table. I'm a retired school principal and am a bird carver, live on Cape Cod, love playing golf, and would like to do some more serious furniture making.

[Gerald O'Brien]

H, My name is Gerry and I retired to France from the UK recently, have just purchased the Kreg 3 master class jig and looking forward to making use of it, thinking of starting with the simple workbench

[Philip Sale]

Hi, my name is Phil, I retired to La Alpujarra in southern Spain, and woodwork has always been my hobby, the problem here is the price of timber! However I decided to bite the bullet, and get started again, mainly making wooden ornaments. As a result, I started getting requests for furniture and window frames, so I purchased the Master Jig, and just completed the first window frame using the Jig, and how much easier it was. I am now looking forward to making more use of it. It is a fine addition to the Kreg Router table, I already had.

[Aston Shaw]

Hi, I'm Aston, I'm trained Machinist, i have always loved wood working, from high school to present.
I'm presently doing remodeling work on my basement, i did all the work. from electrical to plumbing, but what really excites me, is making all my kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, using the Kreg jig tool. I find it easy to use and it gives a very neat finish, much better than the other method. I'm looking forward, to building more interesting projects with the use of this great tool.

[Peter O'Boyle]

My name is Peter O'Boyle and I live on the Oregon coast. I remodel/restore vintage travel trailers and found the Kreg jig's because I needed to build face frames. Before I used the jig I had a hard time getting a strong joint. I'm getting ready to move into simple furniture next.
