HI, My name is Mark. I've been doing woodworking and carving off and on for 30+ years. I've read about the Kreg Jig system many times and finally decided to give it a try building cabinets for a garage renovation I'm doing in the spring. Picked up the master set just last week and looking forward to using it.

Hi my name is Jeff Cook I have always had a love of working with wood .Have done most of the remodeling in our house  just finished a closet - shelving unit in my daughters room. Will have a picture soon . I own a kreg jig master system, crown pro I have to say they are great tools.

 

Hi to you all, my name is Jim and I live in : Golden, BC, Canada. I have been doing woodwork on and off for the past 35 years. Now that I am retired I have more time to get into it and am willing to take on more challenging projects. I am planning to purchase my first Kreg equipment this week to help me to get to the next level of wood work. I find that working with wood is therapy for me, it is a wonderful world where there are always interesting challenges.

I've always wanted to get into wood working. Have done a few projects over the years. This year I've started doing some projects for hire. I built a window seat for an after school mentoring project here in Springfield, IL. called the Matthews Project. I provided the labor for free. The Matthew's Project is in a building that's just a couple of blocks from Lincoln's Home. The building was a grocery store where the Lincoln's purchased their food and stuff.

Since building the window seat for the Matthew's Project I've had several people who have seen it and have asked me to build them a window seat.

Right now I'm in the middle of a large project for a family. It's 4  window seats that will also double as a toy boxes. It will be over 29 ft in length when finished. Should be finished in the next couple of weeks. 

Hi, my name is Dave and I am living in eastern Idaho. We have an older home and are looking at a ton of projects with my new Kreg Master jig.  We are looking to build custom storage, for the odd spaces and anything else we can dream up!  Long winters mean lots of project time. We have a motto in our house, I build it and my bride finishes it!  Works out pretty good!

Hello, my name is Harold and I live in west Texas.  I have enjoyed woodworking for many years, and I have been wanting to check out the Kreg's Jig for awhile. Now that I have purchased one, I am looking forward to my next project to be able to use it.

Harold,

Once you get a couple simple projects built, using the Kreg Pocket Hole Joinery, you'll be off and running---

wanting to build more.

The system makes for easy building.

It's addictive.

Let the fun begin.

Let your imagination go wild.

My name is Larry and I live in New Palestine, IN. I always loved working with wood in shop class during high school but haven't worked with since until recently. I find it therapeutic to work with wood when I am stressed. 

I am hoping to find some project plans for an oak student desk, an oak queen bed, and perhaps an oak kitchen table. I love oak and I am tired of buying cheap Chinese furniture that just doesn't last. All of the oak furniture stores are long gone and this has prompted me to look to make my own furniture and something I can pass down to my kids. I find a lot of project plans online but not for anything I would want in my home.

I got the Kreg jig for Christmas and have already made an oak table for my daughter. I love this thing! Now I am ready to make some cabinets and hopefully some oak furniture for my home.

Product Reviews

New Kreg 720Pro

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

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Not Pleased With Pocket Hole Construction

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction.  I have considerable experience with conventional…
