I ordered the catalog. Though to be honest I hold little hope. The freight costs frequently are more than the product. When I had my shop going a few years ago, freight was 20% to 28% of my cost of goods sold. I have not noticed a decrease in the shipping costs yet. I will however look. My point was that some of us have had to be content with making a better product and not worry about the costs. Woodworkers Journal did an article about the same thing last year, knowing that the furniture prices at the big box stores were a large percentage below what you could buy the wood for. In the report there were prices taken across the USA and there were some variables, though the price of shipping was always a big issue. In the report quality was the one thing we can do better on. The author/editor was never able to beat the price. So I thank you for the tips, and I will follow up, but you just might be the luckiest guy on this forum.
Thanks,
Phil

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.
