Hello all, My name is Tom. I live in Columbus Ohio. I just purchased my Kreg K4 Master system. I have to say I love how it works and how strong the joinery is.. Working on my first project with the Kreg Jig. Another 4 foot work bench..

Hello. 

My name Chris and I currently live in Quebec, Canada. I purchased a Kreg Master Jig System (K4) and haven't looked back since. As a brand new hobby woodworker, my plans have been bigger than my abilities but after a little end piece experimentations, I was able to build a Farmhouse style dining room table 7 ft x 4 ft using the jig for the majority of the connections.

Hello, my name is Brian from Joliet, IL.  I recently bought a Kreg Jig K4MS Master System because I plan to build some end tables for a certain lady friend whose heart I am trying to win, I'm not gonna lie.  I'm an amateur woodworker.  My latest project was the Roll-Around Shop Cart, from ShopNotes #68, images attached.  When I make the tables I'll certainly post them here.

Ray,

It'll be closer, after they move it.

I just tried to google Joliet moving but didn't learn anything else regarding why a city would move,... earthquake maybe I know this is the case with Christchurch in New Zealand

Robert,

That was a bit of ''southern humor'', from days gone by.

I use to travel frequently, from the northern part of the state, to central and southern IL.

When I arrived late a couple times, I was told, if they moved the town a closer, I wouldn't have to drive so far.  (I wasn't planning to move from the community I resided).
