Hi!... Ummmmm... My name is Randy... and... uhhhh... I'a a Kregaholic. 

 

No really, I bought one with some birthday cash and built my first project with some shelving I had sitting around. I cant believe how easy it was, less than a weekend to finish (outside on a porch in the rain), to my benefit the shelves were pre finished. Turned out great, even my mother-in-law was impressed (she doesn't like me). Project was an entertainment center for my sons (my) man cave, it holds all his (my) electronics plus a computer tower we (I) as a music server. I have been a Kregaholic ever since. 

 

Pictures to come...

Hi fellow woodworkers, my name is Tommy and I live on the Jersey Shore. I have been woodworking for awhile, but not until the last several months have I really been into it. I have yet to purchase a Kreg Jig, but will be very shortly. I am just not sure which kit to purchase and any help in that area would be much appreciated. Look foward to learning from you guys and girls. Thanks.

Hi everyone.  I'm Redoak from Weatherford, Texas.  I don't actually own a Kreg Jig yet.  But I thought it would be a good idea to join the group and see waht you guys are doing with the jigs you have.

Hi

With the crown molding jig, following the directions and cutting upside down it did not seem to work. However if I set the spring angle up by eye at an angle of 60 degrees it did work. The problem is if I follow direction the spring angle should be 42 degrees. What am I doing wrong? It seems that Kreg tech support will not answer.
