Good day to you all, I'm Richard, Originally from Australia, living in sunny Iowa ( I know what you're think and don't ask lol), I've got carpentry in my blood steming back 5 generations, I missed my calling but still have fun building large and small projects, I never had issue with screwing wood together at angles but kreg's pocket hole jig made it a whole lot easier and fun, I tackled my first project this past weekend, outdoor chairs and table ( Pic posted) and had fun doing it.
I look forward to seeing what everyone is doing and am happy to help and have no problem asking for assistance when needed.

[Frank Divinie]

Well I am Frank from North Carolina and decided to build a work shop so when I retire in a few years I can have some fun again doing woodworking. Have not had the chance to do any in several years due to working conditions and other hobbies "HAM RADIO". So getting back into wood working will be my new past time along with radio. Will be asking questions as I go along and I really like the Kreg tools. Makes life much easier. Got a lot of projects I want to do so hopefully I can keep all of you posted.

[Adam Hanna]

Hello, I'm Adam. I live in Denver with my beautiful wife. I bought a Kreg Jig after seeing I would need one to complete a project she wanted me to build. Now the mania has set in and I'm pretty sure I won't ever need to buy furniture from a store again. Except maybe a couch or anything upholstered. Can't wait to try more Kreg products. Which one shall I try next?

I've been using the Kreg tools for the past 3-months, but in a much different way.  The house we bought has a new fence but the previous owners and neighbors didn't know what a level was or a string line, so it looks very much like the wall of China, all over the place.  So...I've been shoring up the fence using the drill bit and kreg screws, removing the useless fence brackets, pulling the sections together using a ratchet strap and then the counter sink bit as well as screws tighten everything up very nicely.

Now if only I can figure out how to use the darn jig... :)

Looking forward to looking over some plans, and then building 'stuff' with it.

Been doing carpentry now for over 30 years and really enjoy making things in my workshop .i had a trend pocket jig bought me 5 years ago but sadly had a break in and it was stolen with other tools ,so it's been 3-4 years since I have had the time and the interest in doing pocket hole joinery and must say my kreg jig is a great bit if kit so looking forward to building with it.

Hello all, I'm Harold and I live in Round Rock, TX, just outside of Austin.  Pretty new to woodworking as a hobby, I dabble in a bit back Jr, high school many moons ago but I've gotten acquainted with it again.  I've been impressed with the way that pocket holes improves the quality and over all appearance of a product.  I excited to interact with everyone here and learn more.
