Kreg Jig Storage Unit
I just today saw the plan for the storage unit. I wish I would have seen this before this past weekend. I made a Kreg workspace. It is simply a 1' by 2' piece of birch plywood with miter bars attached to the bottom. I can slide it on my tablesaw (fence removed, and blade lowered). It makes for a nice surface to drill pocket holes. I was happy with the results.
Then I saw this plan...
Now I want a shelf on mine. I think I'm going to use what I've already got as the top and then make the rest of it.
One question. On the plan it says to use the MicroJig. I don't yet have one. Will the normal jig work?

To answer your question, yes it will work; I did have to use 1" screws though. My first one was made from scrap 1/2" plywood and will get good wood for the finished product. I want to store all the components from the Kreg Jig® Master System. The problem is that the Portable Base is 2 1/2" and will not fit in the drawer. I am going to make another and will increase the height to accommodate the Portable Base. I may also make another drawer to hold the Screws.

I have made another with a deeper drawer and made it using 3/4" oak. It is not as light as the one made of plywood. I set it on my workbench and use the bench vice to hole it in place. If I could figure how to upload a photo I would add one.

My set-up is way different. My Kreg is just screwed to a 1x10 so it can live on my "clamp tree", along with my shop vac accessories, apron & tool belt. Seems I was always using the clamps after drilling pocket holes.

Dennis,
Nice to see that you keep an ''ax'' close by.
Never know when one has to ''whittle'' a little off, to get the right fit.

Thickness error
I ripped a 2x4 board to be a true 3” instead 3.5”. The thickness of the board remains 1.5”. When I put the pocket hole in the board, the top of the hole was too high and now visible. In other words the top of the pocket was on the top of the board…Continue

New Kreg 720Pro
I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Not Pleased With Pocket Hole Construction
Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
