[Gary Sharp]

My name is Gary Sharp and I retired last July after over 41 years with NS Railraod. During high school I took vocational cabinet making in my Junior and Senior years. After graduating I worked for a cabinet shop for about 9 months before the RR. I've always done woodworking in my spare time. I initailly learned how to mortise and tennon then began using dowel jigs. I tried bisquit joints but was not as confident of their strength. The first project I made with the Kreg Master Jig was a baby changing table with 4 drawers in the middle and a door on each end. Thanks to the Kreg Jig, my project ended up as professional as any you would see in a high end shop.

[Sharon A. Broughton]

Hello folks. My name is Sharon and I am a woodworking student at Palomar College in San Marcos, CA. I used the Kreg jig to construct the web frames in a cabinet that I made at school. I like the strong joint formed by pocket hole joinery. And I like that it is relatively quick in that I don't have to wait for glue joints to dry. I was a rank novice before starting in the Cabinetmaking and Furniture Technology Department at Palomar. I now have the first two classes under my belt, and next semester I'll be taking the advanced furniture making class along with architectural millwork.

[Joseph Giorno]

Greeting all. I'm a woodworking teacher at a local high school and i've introduced my students to Kreg and boy do they like it.

[Joseph Giorno]

my students are amazing. I showed them how to use the kreg system and they took old plans and converted them into
Kreg plans. I'm hopeing someday the school department will buy a Kreg kit. I bought the 3 kits they're using now with my own money.

[Robert C. Arias]

Hi Everybody!! My name is Robert Arias, living in Las Vegas, and as a beginner on the kregjoint family, I would like to take this opportunity to learn more about woodworking. Recently bought a house in the PI and planning to do a kitchen renovation when I get home next year. A complete kitchen demolition (kitchen cabinets, counter tops, center island and lot more projects). Any helpful suggestions and tips are surely appreciated.

[Joe]

Hi, My name is Joe, I've been in the retail & online tool business for a while, but I'm also a former building contractor and a home woodworker. I think Kreg's product line-up is great, but there is one thing lacking in the router fence area, see my photos to find out what it is.

[Phil Howard]

Hello all!
My name is Phil and I live in Fenton, MO (St. Louis). I've been dabbling in woodworking for years and never really had enough money to buy any "real" tools. Now that I can afford some things I've sworn off T.V. and built myself a small shop out back of the house and have started making some things to be proud of. I just bought the Kreg Jig and wish that I would have put it a little higher on the "priority tool" list! I love making stuff and my daughter and mom are usually the recipients of a large majority of my projects. In the near future my goal is to supplement my income with some of my creations.
