I have just bought the master, deck jig, the micro and the mini jig. I just got them by mail order 2 days ago from UK.

Hello, I'm Joseph my wife Michelle. Purchased several Kreg jig's own 2 home can't live in either trying to relocate from Katrina. Hard to believe there are still people recovering from the big one. We're new to the community. Bought Kreg equipment to hasten our rebuild. Have used the Jr. to pocket hole some 2"x6" studs in place worked well on edges toe nailed faces. I'm old school Router , bisquit, dowel , tongue and groove, and dove tail joinery with glue and clamps. Find the Pocket hole sytem very helpful and quicker. Working on getting 2nd home redy for move in turned out to be a tear down to stud walls in and out repair sills and beams. To simplfy it's and JM Walters home buit in the mid 80's. We have been looking over project plans and hope we can get to the point of cabinet building soon. Well howdy from Mississippi and may God bless.

Sincerely,

Joseph & MIchelle

Hello All, My name is Kyle and I am from the Columbus Ohio area. I am new to the Kreg Jig but have some limited carpentry skills. My wife and I are expecting our first baby in May so my first project is going to be a changing table/dresser. I look forward to posting my project along with many of the questions that I am sure I will have on the forum.

Hi! I'm Chris from New Jersey and have recently purchased the Kreg Jig. I'm looking forward to picking the collective brains of some of the experienced woodworkers here online once I get the basics down.

Hi All.

I'm new to woodworking. I recently purchased a Kreg jig that I used to make a (very simple!) end table.

I look forward to exchanging information with this community.

 

Thanks!

[Antoine boyd]

Welcome,

I'm Antoine Boyd from Huntsville, AL.  I've been doing woodworking off-n- on most of my life.  My passion is wood turning. Right now, I got addicted to turning pens which I pretty much gave away as Christmas presents this year. I've made trunks, desks, entertainment centers, beds, and microwave cabinets with drawers.  When I first got my Kreg, I immediately saw the quality one might expect in wood working tools.  I am trying to wear mine out.  I don't see that happening.  I may die of old age before that happens.  Anyway, check out my page and pictures.
