Greetings to all from Indiana. I enjoy woodworking and motorcycles. I have used a Kreg jig for some time now building bookcases and such. But it is now time to get into some harder projects,lol.

 

[Mark J Kristan]

Hi all, my name is Mark, I live in SW ON (Canada).   I'm a beginner woodworker and new to the Kreg jig.  Well, I started setting up the shop about eight years ago, and dabbled in woodworking a little over the years before that, but I'm not home very often and don't get to spend a lot of time in my favourite playground so I probably have beginner-level knowledge.  I joined this community when I had a particular question, but working wood is my passion and I look forward to getting the most out of the jig through tips I pick up  in here.  I'd be happy to share my experiences with others as well, of course.

Howdy!  I'm Aubrey from Fort Worth, TX.  I'm hoping to learn more about the use of Kreg Jigs and tools.

[Daniel Talley]

Hi everyone! I'm Daniel. I'm from the Chattanooga TN area and am just now getting back into woodworking. My dad introduced me to it many years ago but due to school and starting a family I have spent several years away from it. I just got my K5 so I'm excited to get back into it!

[Adam]

Hi all my name is Adam, I live in oxfordshire, England. I'm a plumbing and heating engineer by trade but my passion is woodworking, making anything from book cases & units, to a play house for my two young boys. I bought the k4 master system last year when I wanted to construct a large wall unit for my eldest sons room, and wanted to get it done in one long long day, I was hooked ,no long clamping times while glue dried and it was as strong as anything I'd built in the past.
Anyway it was nice to find a community of people that feel the same, hopefully I can learn some valuable tips from you guys thanks Adam.
