I am an inspired intermediate builder who loves my kreg jig. I would love to use dovetail joinery to make some of my furniture, etc. Would you please come to my house and teach me how to do that,,,and please bring your equipment. Thanks
Well I use many different forms of jonery depending on the task at hand. I love the Kreg and use here and there, but I also love M&T when time permits, and stress is an issue. I also use dole's, as well as bisquet's from time to time. Dove tails are still trying their b est to kill me from fustration alone. One day I'll get there.
When it get's down too it, if I am building something I want to last the test of time... I would use M&T over screws any day.
Many years ago I really got ito woodworking when I learned how to use the Kreg Pocket hole systen. Much has been built with it.
Now I use the Festool Domino jointer with mortice and tenons a trememdous amount. Mlast 3 projects, one of them being very complicated were all build WITHOUT ANY METAL FASTENERS AT ALL EXCEPT FOR ATTACHING HARDWARE , KNOBS ,HINGES, DRAWER SLIDES. ETC. It is amazing what you can do with their 4 mm tiny domino tenon. Expensive tool for sure but it is truly a miracle machine.

I cannot believe how some readers/ responders to this blog feel that they have have to dis and put down JB for making his innocent comment about woodworking joinery. You would think he threatened to spread the black plague around the world or something.
Go back and read his initial comment. He is not putting down Kreg jigs or pocket hole joinery. What he is saying is that Kreg jigs are great - but they are not a substitute for some better woodworking joints out there - especially those seen in fine furniture. And you know what - he is correct! I have used thousands of Kreg screws in pocketholes for many years and know they work great for many projects. My 3 Kreg jigs are some of my all time favorite tools and I would never want to be without them. But they are not the best solution for all joints all the time. Just 1 example - You want to sit in a chair held together only by pocketholes? Not me. Mortise and tenon joints are much stronger and the better solution for chairs.
Please stop acting so superior that you have to put down others. Read what JB is really saying and move on.

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…

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…
