Hello Don, I'm sure you will love the Kreg Jig as much as I do.

Hello, My name is Darla and I live in Camden, AR.  I am a Guidance Counselor at a high school but I love building anything out of wood.  I have had my Kreg Jig Master System for about a year and I absolutly love it.  The first thing I built using my Kreg jig was and entertainment center for my mothers birthday.  It turned out great and Mom loved it.  Looking forward to many more projects with my Kreg jig.

 

Got my Kreg jig master yesterday and proceeded to make a small station for my miter saw. LOL ran out of 2x4 I had and hopefully will finish it tomorrow. This is my first time using a Kreg system though I have have seen them for years. I have been doing woodworking forever but stopped a few years ago. I sold my table saw quickly to a friend of mine because it was an old Sears and I had made a custom cabinet for it. But I kept my band saw and most of my other tools. :) 

I used to do a lot of hand carving and made Queen Anne furniture with claw and ball feet. I also used to carve song birds. Lately I haven't done anything because 2 years a go I had a total knee and a total elbow. Doing better now though.

I am retired and spend a lot of time riding my motorcycle. I enjoy that a lot.

I am glad I found this site. The DVD that came with the Kreg doesn't go into how to use the mini jig. I'd like to know how to use it/set it up correctly too.

Hi My name is ED from Hamburg, Pa.

   Bottom line I am a 55 year old  Rookie.  Had a kidney transplant and now i am in need of a new hobby since i am retired.  Always loved the idea of woodworking so I have been reading and started buying tools and supplies to start a shop.   Went to my local store and watched a demo on the K4 jig and loved it.  I am hoping I can listen in and learn while i am here

Hello, my name is Jim and I live in Ohio.  I'm a beginning woodworker and an all around DIY'er.  I'm more interested in completing projects then spending my limited free time learning complex joinery techniques.  I have used the Kreg jig a few times and it's worked well.  I know that pocket holes aren't right for every situation but it makes things a lot faster where I can use them.  I'm sure there's a lot I can learn from this forum.  Thanks.

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
