Hello my name is Mark Crouch I live in Windsor Mo. I have done some woodworking off and on since I was in high school ( 30+ years ago ). I am interested in doing a refinishing business if any body has any input on how to start I would be open to your opinion and help. I have a Kreg jig for the past 2 years and want to use it as much as possible in the business.

Hello, my name is Jim and I live in Kissimmee, FL.  I enjoy doing DIY projects and my next quest is to tame the storage and functionality of my garage, including the attic above it. I am designing storage space and planning to start the build out in the next few weeks.  Kreg jig has been selected among many other tools to help me with this massive project. I have made a couple of prototypes with the jig and screws, and so far, that works out well. I got a lot of ideas from projects on this site, and everyone here is really creative. Looking forward to contributing to the community with my tinkering.

Hey Jim, I can't wait to see what you have in mind.  I'll bet I can get some ideas from you.  Keep us all up to date on the project.

my name is Randall I'm retired and consider myself a handyman, wood carver. I purchased a kreg jr. which I promptly put on the shelf until we bought a king sized bed without a headboard. The wife says buy one at a yard sale. When I remembered I had the kreg jr so in about twenty minutes I'd made a new headboard. Well I'm going to get a kreg master system. This jig is a lot of fun and I hope to enjoy your company!

I'm Damion-- I live in Oregon, the Great Pacific NW! I bought a Kreg Jig last year and have found it GREATLY helpful in all of the projects I do. We recently bought a new home and have quite a few projects that my Kreg will come in handy with!

Hello,

My name is Mike and I live in PA. I am a woodworker/cabinetmaker by trade, have been since high school woodshop. Currently work in a custom woodworking shop. I have always done traditional woodworking joints, mortise and tenon, dodo, rabbet, spline, and when called for dowel, screw, biscuit and such. I haven't used pocket-hole joints much. Recently purchased Kreg Jig K5. Looking forward to pocket-hole joints made easy with the K5. Joined community to stay informed and offer some input. 

Welcome Mike !!

Hi my name is Jim. I live in the Great State of Maine. I consider myself a starter wood worker, even though I have been doing odds and ends for 40 years. At this point in my life I am a Real Estate Broker. I did a pocket joinery project about 3 years ago that came out pretty well. It amazes my the projects you can do with the Kreg tool. Just looking for projects that can make life easy.

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…
