A Kreg swing!

I built this during my "let's see what this Kreg jig can do" phase. I wanted to see if it was possible to build a swing using mainly pocket holes. Well, I found it is possible and it is the most sturdy swing I have ever seen! ...very heavy though. It is built from extra 2x4's and 1x4's. And not finished... in another picture you will see why.

Comment by Kim C on February 8, 2011 at 12:03pm: I didn't get to use it last summer because I it was slow getting all the plugs sanded down. But I finally rigged up a rotozip tool to do nothing but take off plugs for all of my projects. It works great. Now if it would ever quit snowing I can enjoy this swing! I have had a couple requests to make more.

Comment by Kim C on February 4, 2011 at 11:43am: Thanks! It was kind of a spontaneous build. I had just gotten my Kreg Jig and wanted to push it to the limits. This was my third build. I will post finished pics eventually. It is the sturdiest swing I have ever seen thanks to the pocket hole joinery!

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…
