Yeah, I just checked the Rockler site and noticed that.  I also checked the SChaumburg stores Demo schedule and it is quite impressive.  Thanks for your info.  Ironically, I just was at the Berlands store in New Lenox this afternoon where I purchased a Dremel workstation. thanks for the websites=good information.

Hi everybody! My name is Jan (Flemish for John) and I live in Bruges, Belgium. I like to create things (my other passion is photography), and for creating things in wood in an easy way, I decided to purchase a Kreg jig. I am very curious if I am going to like this tool. It is still on its way, so I hope Mr. Postman will hurry up ;-) More very soon...

[Stephen Brown]

Hi Jan, welcome to the Kreg community. You will love the jig when you get it, it's a really fast and accurate way to build. I'm using mine to make workshop cabinets and I have completed one and another is almost finished. Best wishes and good luck.

Hello all. Ken here from SC. Looking for tips and ideas for using a Kreg Jig. Not a very experienced wood worker, so I will mostly be stealing ideas.

Welcome, hope you find what your looking for

[Scott G]

Hello,

I'm Scott and I live in southeast CT. I'm a beginning woodworker. So far, I've built a small box with dados for the bottom and Kreg screws for the sides. (Screw heads stick out a bit as I used wrong screws and probably have the collar set wrong.) Second box turned out better. I'm practicing to build up to building some side tables, etc. Have built a raised garden bed enclosure and some rotatable grocery can racks as well; though not with Kreg.

Looking forward to learning and if possible helping as I progress.

Im Todd, Live in Western, WI. I have done many home improvement projects. I did some woodworking in school and recently decided to get back into doing some wood working to help in a big Home improvement project I have going for this summer. I Purchased the Kreg Jig Mastery system and started doing some primitive art home decore projects for the wife as practice. My big home improvement projects is going to be Vanity and Cabinetry for a bathroom in my basement. I plan on using the Kreg Joinery system for doing most of this.
