<p>I was given over 750bdft of rough lumber. I made a dining table & benches with it. I used some PH joinery on it with gorilla glue. This was my 1st real project with PH's & I just wanted to see how sturdy it would be. Works great for it's intended purpose.</p>

<p>On the other hand I decided to make a sofa table for the guy that gave me the wood. I didn't have a lot of spare time right then so I used PH's & glue. They have no idea how it's assembled & they were totally thrilled with it. Especially since they had no idea it was coming.</p>

<p>I guess all that to say never feel guilty about anything in your desire to build things in your own shop. The purists will scream & beat the drums but the ones that matter the most to you will be forever grateful of your thoughtfulness in building them a nice sturdy usable attractive piece.</p> Guilt Freetag:kregjig.ning.com,2017-03-14:2900167:Comment:8745042017-03-14T19:28:36.332ZRobert Melrosehttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/RobertMelrose

<p> I think that Joinery has become a Hobby in itself almost separate from woodworking. Its great for guys that have the time (mostly retirees) but for us that need things done quickly I prefer pocket holes. Mortise and tennon, dovetail, ect... Just take to much time and in my opinion arent much better joints. I dont really like the way dovetails look anyways. I prefer clean straight lines, but again thats just me.

<p>The Kreg Jig has opened so many doors for me that I do not feel guilty using it. I do not have a large work shop and all of the fancy tools that a lot of woodworkers do so I rely on my corded and cordless (mostly cordless) power tools to get my projects done.</p>
