[Reid J Menting]

Reid Menting, I am 75 and live in Va. Retired and, unfortunately I have tremors in both hands. Been doing woodworking since I was a kid but, it is very limited these days. Loved to make furniture. Have some Kreg Jigs and I love them. 

[Kathy Husson]

Hi, I’m Kathy from Littleton NC. Recently retired to the lake and looking for some new hobbies and thought I might like a little woodworking.   Hoping to have a new project going soon with my newly purchased Kreg k5.  Just can’t decide what that will be as I am a real Novice just starting out.   

[Adriaan de Graaf]

Hello, my name is Adriaan. I live in Southwest Ohio. While I don't quite consider myself a novice I am by means no expert. I have put together some furniture kits and while I liked the result I found some to be rather cheap in quality. My space is limited and while I do own a Radial arm saw, Ryobi table saw, as well as a Miter saw.These are the biggest pieces. Years ago about the only way to join wood was with dowels and biscuits and I lost interest as well as the free time to do any projects. Now retired I have more time to do a few projects. I am waiting the arrival of my K5 jig Kit and have 1 or 2 projects in mind.

[Joe P]

Hi, I'm Joe P. from Westminster, MD. I'm  a novice woodworker and enjoy creating things and making stuff for my grandkids.  I'm building a saw stand for jobsite saw and using my handy dandy Kreg-Jig K4 and HD Jig for it's construction.  I joined to contribute and share knowledge with others. 

[Graham]

Hi my name is Graham and I live on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, just north of Vancouver - my hobby and my passion is woodworking.

I have been using pocket-hole joinery for a few years and love the whole idea.

I have just purchased a K5MS kit which is a big step up from the basic Jig and can't wait to use it. I'm sure it's going to be a big time and labour-saver. 

[Kenneth Utt]

I am a retired Jr./Sr. High school teacher/principal.  Currently working as a part time principal.  I like working with wood since high school. I have built most of my cabinets for my work shop. I love my Kreg jig, Christmas present several years ago. I have project plans that I purchased in college to do. Now I hav3 the time and space to work on them.

[Joshua Voigt]

Hi, I recently built a 3-tier garage shelving unit for our single car garage. Used the Kreg 320, then Kreg K5 and HD. Liked it so much I bought the Adaptive Cutting System! With limited space to work (1 car garage), the storage feature is great. Looking forward to many future projects!

[Ed McGugan]

Hello Joshua:

Looking at the Adaptive Cutting System to replace my table saw. Always had a table saw and have found it difficult to use from my wheelchair. But I thought it was my only option.

Thought maybe the ACS would be much better and safer. How are you finding it for speed and accuracy?

Looking forward to hearing about your experience.

tx, Ed

Good day everyone,

I’m Sean, from Maine. I have hobbied in woodworking for most of my life. Typical home owner stuff. Really like the ease of Kreg tools. Have made a table with a secret drawer and most recently a buffet for the dining room. Photos to come. I’m really liking the inspiration.

Thanks.
