Dear Members

I'am Bill Couzins, retired roofing contractor. I live in Cincinnati Ohio. Watching utube I saw Kreg Tool video and I was sure I could put that jig to work for me. I ordered Jig R3, planning on making floating shelves. Before I began that project, I called the 800-447-8638 and talk to Todd, about my plan.  Todd explained it would probably be better to use the HD Jig and bigger screws, so I bought HD Jig and the job was a completed.  I'm impressed how well it works. I have already sent picture of that 2"x12" x 8' southern pine garage shelf and plan to do more. I look forward to becoming proficient in joinery. Best regards, Cuz

Hi All,

I have been doing woodworking for a while, but have not made furniture until this year.  I made a table using Kreg jig and liked the results.  

Look forward to getting some tips and tricks from the professionals out there!

Roger Hughes new member from Owasso OK. My last project was a cart for my shop vac using plywood and solid wood from Kreg plans I downloaded.  My next project will be a HO train layout on 4x8 plywood table built from plans but using Kreg pocket hole joinery. The table needs to be very stable so I will be followig the bench work plans closely I found in a book on scale train layouts.

[William Sowell]

Hello all, my name is Bill from Northwestern Missouri. I am new to Kreg and have a lot to learn. I have dabbled in woodworking for many years but I do not consider myself as experienced.  I purchased the equipment to help me with home improvement projects.  I am close now to retirement and would like to do more woodworking.  Being off work for a while, I thought I would get a jumpstart on learning some things using the Kreg Pocket Jigs.  Looking forward to learning what I can.

    You will find a lot of good folks on here, ready and willing to give the advise that you want. Also a lot of projects

to work on. When it happens have a great retirement !!

[MATTHEW S MASTROBERTI]

My name is Matt. I live near Annapolis, MD. Nothing special here... Started as a carpenter's helper building houses when I was 16. Made some simple furniture on the side the next few years - tables, simple built-ins. Took a break for awhile, Army, college, brief career in accounting. Ten years later started my own framing crew but couldn't compete - too meticulous... Spent the next ten in the Mobile/Modular office industry. Refurbishing, setting them up, moving them - lots of treated decking, steps, and handicapped ramps. I'm a property manager now with the good fortune to have a 1,200 sq ft shop with my tools set up. I've gotten some nice ideas and tips from the Kreg site. I'm more of a technician than an artist. We'll see if I can contribute some stuff for you folks too.

[John Fricke]

Hi,

My name is John Fricke and I'm from Yardley Pa.. I'm originally from New Jersey, born and raised there. Been working with wood longer than I can remember. Watched all the episodes of The New Yankee Workshop. If it was a tool Norm had, I had to have it too!

[James Stevens]

Hello, James here. I'm from Huntsville and I have been wood working, in some form at least, forever. My Dad is a woodworker too so I grew up helping him. My wife is also a woodworker. As daughter of a cabinetmaker, she enjoys time in the shop too. You should see the look on some guy's faces during conversation, the moment they realize a woman knows more about tools than they do! We make assemblage art together but we have been on hiatus for a while since we remodeling our home. One of our first dates was actually in my dads shop working on a bar project. 

When I started getting comfortable with my Kreg and realized how useful it was, I started buying more Kreg stuff, which led me here. The virus thing has got me stuck at home so I have time to do what I have been wanting to do for a while, a complete shop "reset". I'm going to service everything, get everything in order, replace what needs to be replaced and make some tool upgrades too. Most recently I bought a Universal Workbench that my son and I started assembling today. The goal is to build all new shop "furniture" with my improving pocket hole usage. 

Look forward to meeting everyone!

[J HAROLD WILLIAMS]
