[Terry Lyon]

My name is Terry and I live in Texas. A new beginner to the woodworking community. Have dabbled in it thru the years, with caring degrees of success/failures. None the less I've always enjoyed the Journeys.

[Richard Allen]

Hi my name is Richard and I live in Southern California. I have little experience in wood working. It seems like a good time to learn, I look forward learning from this site. I hope to be a contributor in the future. I am retiring in three years and thought this might be a fun hobby. Plus I am tired of all of the cheap stuff they sell for high $$ at the store. My first project will be a patio table. I chose this project because if it comes out a little rustic I can clam that was the look I wad going for.

[Randall S Moore]

Hello, my name is Randall and I leave in Irvine Ky. I did some woodworking several years ago and I'm looking to get started back. I recently picked up a Kreg Jig and have completed a couple small projects. It is easy to use and provides very strong joints. I look forward to more projects. Thanks

Hi, my name is Tim.  I live in central Wisconsin and currently have a 12x12 shed for my wood working area.

Hi tim ,your love this sight .I too work from a 12X12 SHED but with some careful planning you can have all the gadgets and use them comfortably .

[Hofy]

Thank you Michael.  Actually the 12 x 12 shed is bigger than the basement area I had at my old house.  I think that was 8 x 12 with much lower ceilings.

I started using Kreg products since 2011, and I would say, those equipments helped me alot as a DIY'er.

[Cheryl Coleman]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Cheryl and I live in sunny Florida. I've been lurking since joining in February.  I discovered it's sometimes easier to make the items I need rather than try to find something to fit.  I learned about the Kreg Tool on Ana White & Shanty-2-Chic's sites, went out and bought the Jr. and soon discovered I needed something bigger so I bought the K4 and have been hooked ever since.  The projects I've started with are fairly easy and I LOVE the smell of saw dust in the morning.  I want to gather as much knowledge as I can so I can customize things based on my needs.

My daughter and I built her dining table using the Kreg and it came out fantastic.  Once I learn to really square things properly I will be dangerous LOL.

[Jeff Malmgren]

Hi everyone,

I am a beginner wood worker and self taught thus far. I started last year with a renovation to my living room. I ripped out the old fireplace and replaced it with a custom cabinet and entertainment setup. Currently I am working on a computer desk with two tall cabinets and file drawers under the desk top. Its been a painful process since I work in a two car garage and the weather in Michigan has all but cooperated. Looking forward to hearing about some of your projects as well!
