Hey everyone...I'm Leslie from Maryland.  I became interested in building when I came across Ana White's web site.  So far I have made a console, two matching storage shelf units, a mirror and other little things.  My next project is to build an outdoor 8-foot tsble using reclaimed lumber.  Love this stuff!

I am getting ready to build a couple of her kitchen chairs for our table once the weather warms up here in the cold north of Maine.  Love her stuff and her directions are so easy to follow.

Hello all. I'm Greg from upstate New York. I like building things myself because it's hard to trust most of the "junk" you can buy in stores these days. My first project with the Kreg jig was a large shoe shelf that I found plans for on Ana White's website. I needed this shelf because I have a wife and 9 (no, not a typo!) children that all have plenty of shoes that need storage. I'll put up a pic when I can.

Hi, my name is Dennis and I live near Columbia in Mid Missouri.  I have been a sometime woodworker off and on most of my life, but only recently got serious about it after building my house.  Recently bought my first Kreg Pocket Hole Jig and love it!  My wife wanted a coffee table that had storage capacity (see recently added picture) which I built with total pocket hole joinery.

Hi, My names Jack and I live on Cape Cod, just recently took up wood working as a hobby, I found thing were much easier to make since I got my Kreg master kit a few years ago. 

1st thing I've ever made, pretty much all with pocket holes

Howdy I am 62 year old retired electrician of 35 years, who twisted his last wire nut. So I said! I live in Clearfield Pa. My Wife and I just recently purchased a  new home that needs some tender care and I have always been fascinated with the Kreg pocket hole jig. We have a planter at the top of our stairs coming up from the front entrance that needed a counter top. I purchased the jig and went to it. I also laminated the top to closely match our existing counters. I would like to build my own counter tops to replace the old ones and add some custom cabinets to match the existing and move others. And if time sees fit I want to improve our home.

Hi. My name is Candace. My dad is a retired carpenter. He has some short-term memory issues and we've been working together with him my husband and myself to come up with ideas and projects that we can do together. We seen so many on Pinterest and a few that you've posted and thought what a great idea. Would love to makeThe outdoor seating area with my dad. It's always nice to find a site with people that have common interests.

Hello, My name is Raul and I live in small city in the Santa Catarina State - Brazil, I'm looking forward to learning more about the Kreg Jig and on improving my very basic skills. I bought the Kreg Jig K4 Master System last week and received today, I intend to use as soon as possible, however I need to buy wood for my first test and here we do not have stores like in the United States where there is almost everything.

See you!

Hi everyone, I have just joined here today and I look forward to getting ideas and have chats. As you can see I am from London so please bear with me as there is bound to be terminology differences. Looking forward to my first project using the Kreg jig, it will be a workbench for sure

Thank you
