Alaska Vacation Puzzle Table

On my recent trip to Juneau, AK to see my new granddaughter and perform some sitting while they worked, I packed my Kreg Jig for the flight. My son wanted a collapsible table to build puzzles on. Using his specs and some drawings, and the very basic of tools, I put this together. 1x2 hemlock and a 3/8" 4x4 piece of plywood from The Home Depot, a mitre box and back saw from Walmart, and a few sundries (wood glue, speed square, carpenter pencils, etc.) I used a couple plastic sawhorses, hand-sawed the 1x2's to length and Kreg-Jigged the joints. All in all, project was what my son wanted (even unfinished wood). Glad the weather was nice for a few consecutive days.

Comment by Ron Cryderman on July 31, 2013 at 9:41pm: 40" wide, 30" deep, 30" front legs, 32" back legs. I think I should have made a 4 to 6" drop for a more slanted surface. You would need a felt or flannel surface to prevent pieces sliding off. Good luck Becky.

Comment by Claude Bradford on July 23, 2013 at 1:53pm: That looks great and really handy. I'm sure it will be greatly use and will last long. Great job!

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…
