What is the Blue machine sitting on your workbench?

That is my Dillon reloading machine, used to reload all my pistol and rifle ammo.

The bench was built just for that. I just needed a table to use for reloading but the wife said if it was to be in the house it had to look nice. This room is not in the shop, I took over a non-used bedroom for my gun room. A bit over kill ?  Yes

But if a storm is bearing down on me, that might be a good place to hide. :-)

Tim,

Nice looking workbench.

BTW---A gun room is never an ''overkill".

I presume you stock a pallet of ammo.   ; )

PS---nice mount.

[Robert Brennan]

Oh so that's what it is! a gun room now it all makes sense!

and add there is also some woodworkers that have no idea about gun rooms!!

Good Job

[Nicholas W. Kostella, Jr]

Amen for gun rooms!!!  Especially done in oak!!!

[Roger Longoria]

Hello, my name is Roger and I'm from southwest La.(Beauregard parish). My wife bought the Kreg Jig for father's day a few YEARS ago. Last night I took it out of the box and started experimenting. I had forgotten that I had it and needed to make some solid joints on a project my son and I have started. Boy, have I had my head in the sand or what? I'm really really new with this, so will probably been asking for advise from you "experienced" Jig owners in the days/weeks ahead.                                                                                                                                  

Thanks for accepting me into the group. Looking forward getting to know the group and any and all advise you all can throw my way!

Thanks again

[Daniel Stevens]

Hello my name is Daniel and I do my woodworking in the mountains near Yosemite. I saw a Kreg video at a Woodcraft store and had to try it so I bought a kit. I experimented with my scrap pile before my first project. I took on an end table that called for mortise and tenon joints. I converted the joinery to blind pockets and it came out great.

[Justin William Rausch]

Hello all.  I am new to the kreg jig and began using for a l shaped desk and I love this thing.  I am a military man for the last 15 years making it a career as a mechanic.    Most of the time I am fixing or making something for my wife and daughter.  I love to do it and we are usually making things together and we love it.

[Ken Darga]

Justin,

Hope you're enjoying your ride.

[John AB. Garcia]

Hi, My Name is John and I have been wood working for a couple of years. My father got me interested when I was younger and I didn't really start building projects until after he passed in 2010. I guess its my way of honoring his memory.

[RichardB]

Hello, my name is Richard. I've managed to get through 3 projects, and just found this forum. I got stumped, asked a question, and my answer was promptly provided. That was a big help. I look forward to getting into more projects, meeting new friends, and learning a lot from you all. I live in Carmel, Maine, and like to go boating on Moosehead Lake and Penobscot Bay, with my wife, Gail. The Kreg Jig Master System K4 and recently ordered the micro jig for working with 1/2" material. These tools allow me to make things that would otherwise be impossible for my limited wood working skills. 

[Dennis Mann]

Hi, my name is Dennis and live in Brooklyn, NY. I was never very good at building things. About 18 months ago I took up woodworking as a hobby and have been hooked ever since. I used the Kreg Jig to build my wife, daughter and neighbor's daughter night stands. Now I'm looking forward to that next project.
