Looking Forward To My First Kreg Project

[Steve Kreins]

I just began two months ago. My wife bought me a compound miter saw and said, "You've been talking about getting into woodworking since I've know you. Here, go make some sawdust." I know have a fairly well equipped little shop and I'm learning by videos and communities like this one and LumberJocks.com.

I have liver cancer and I started woodworking as a therapy, mentally, physically and spiritually. IT WORKS! I thank God for this blessing. I am blogging about my experience at Woodworking For Therapy . I hope to encourage others to try woodworking as a form of therapy and encourage them to chose to Live, not just waste away.

I've never made a pocket joint so I just picked up a Kreg Jig Jr. I found a plant stand that I want to build using all pocket screw joints. The plans are free at Plant Stand

I hope to get started on this soon.

Steve I know what you mean about therapy. I've got a stressful job and although I can't compare to your story, I can certainly attest to the fact that I am in complete euphoria when I'm in my little shop (my basement) and forget about the stresses in life. Your first project looks great. Keep up the great work,
