"Hello Markus,
Yes, I was at Wasserkuppe from December 1965 through December 1968.
Your name and email address leads me to believe you are German. Am I correct?
I am curious about which publication you found my name in. Some years ago, I…"

"I never us ply wood for an thing I build. It make of a cheap project. Although pocket construction is the only way to build. Make proper adjustments before doing any thing with pocket hole tools."

"As an addition to previous post, the Russian birch has very few voids if any due to the 11 veneer layers.."
Tony Peters commented on Robert Ringel's blog post 'Not Pleased With Pocket Hole Construction'
"Careful of your plywood dimensions. I only use Russian Birch ply for most of my projects as it is a true 3/4" and my screws don't penetrate.. The plywood manufacturers are getting expert at thin slicing veneers so the new…"

Robert Brennan commented on Robert Ringel's blog post 'Not Pleased With Pocket Hole Construction'
"As Jock said your application with ply is actually more aligned to the quality of ply we have available these days. Trying to obtain AA grade is almost impossible and the classification varies just to complicate matters further.
My K4 has had…"

Not Pleased With Pocket Hole Construction
Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional construction but I thought I would give it a try because of the reviews that claim it is quicker and sturdier than conventional joinery. I would disagree for a couple of reasons.First: I don't feel as if it is quicker at all because it takes considerable time…See More

"Thank you for letting me know your findings, I think despite the minor issues you have had it is a good buy and the best option in its price range so I'm going to pull the trigger on this once I have found the best deal.
Thank you."
Robert Ringel replied to Robert Ringel's discussion 'Router Table Enhancements'
"Steve, Overall, I am very pleased with this router table system. In spite of the few issues I noted, Kreg support has been very responsive beyond my expectations. They have replaced a couple components at no cost to me, the latest being the…"
Steven Sadler replied to Robert Ringel's discussion 'Router Table Enhancements'
"I have been eyeing up this router table after I read the review on https://toolinspector.com/best-router-table/ which scored it the best in its price category.
Are you still happy with it after having it 4 more months? "

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…
