Hi Al,  My wife and I are snowbirds and I am currently in Arizona.  What kind of things to you like to make?  Intarsia is my current interest.  I have a Kreg jig, and a Kreg router table, even a Kreg drawer slide jig.  These are the Kreg items, I also have a fully equipped shop in my basement.

I have been working with scroll work, but am currently engaged in building things for the house.  Shop cabinets, potato bin, end tables, that sort.  Arizona is not far from here, hope you are enjoying the weather.

Hey everyone. CJ here from Southern CAL.  I'm a former mid-westerner who got tired of the winters.  I'm an avid DIY'er but have limited experience in finish woodworking.  I'm here to change that and my first project is to organize my garage by turning half of it into a workshop and lining the remainder of the open wall space with cabinets.  Nothing but cabinet doors as far as one can see.  I'm tired of tripping over things on my garage floor and the wife wants more pantry space.  Looking forward to learning for others and hopefully I can contribute as well.  -CJ-

Hi, my name is Bill Bidel. I am a retired Air Force veteran of some 44 years ago. I have achieved many different occupations during the time in the AF and after. In the AF I was a reciprocating engine mechanic, a small arms instructor and an electronic counter measures technician. During those years I taught myself to be a Sign Artist and was able to utilize that skill after retiring at a couple of different Sign Shops in Tucson, AZ. After the sign shops I got a job at Old Tucson Studios just outside the city. During my work at Old Tucson Studios part of my job was to help create signage around the park which enabled me to gain experience in woodworking. This was due to the fact that a town from the 1860's would not have modern day facilities. Hence my skills helped me and my partner to create items that were snatched from OTS's boneyard to help in fashioning something that would reflect the era.

I hope now to use some of that skill to fashion things for myself. I have acquired a Kreg 4 model and look forward to much more. BTW I am into woodturning most of the time and I believe that Kreg joinery will help in making jigs for that area that I would like to specialize in. At my age it would be most beneficial.

Hi my name is Tom an recently retired living in Connecticut. Love working with wood although not very good. That is until I got my Kreg jig. My first repair project came out perfect! I joined this community to get some ideas and more importantly, some expert advice.
