Hi, Bob. Joe b.  from Moultrie, Ga.  I am a life-long DIYer and will tackle almost any woodworking or remodel project.  I have made simple boxes to remake rooms to furniture.  I was intrigued by pocket hole construction for several years but didn't employ it until Kreg system came along.  I have been a Kreg fan for quite a few years and rarely make any woodworking project that request joining two pieces together without pocket hole screws. 

You commented on the wall oven installation.  See my comment there and, if I can assist, send me a email joe at bolin dot com (masked to prevent webbots from grabbing).

My name is Joe and live near Weatherford, Tx.  I retired in 1993 and have a reasonably size shop.  I hate finish work and prefer building structures and sheds.  My most recent building project is a 16 foot X 21 foot garage for my Casita.  I travel a lot on cruises and in my Casita.

My most recent projects were building 12 bird feeders, 12 Blue bird houses, and 6 squirrel feeders for our Church Lord Acre Festival.  My most recent project using my Kreg is two tables for placing drinks, snacks, and etc. while playing cards (Pic to be added as most recent project).   This is another Honey Do project.  So far I like my Kreg.  The only problem so far, is building small items it is very  hard to get the drill and driver in tight places.  I have a flex drill adapter and it helped.

My first project using Kreg .

[Joe Long]

Thanks Jim:  I have been looking at the above items and will probably buy one in the near future.  My wife keep telling me the anything that I leave (money) my son and his kids will spend it a lot faster that I made the money.  So I am buying more toys like you recommended.  I am now 78.  Thanks for your comment and suggestion.

Regards Joe

[Norm Beougher]

Hi, My name is Norm and I live in the Phoenix area. I've been retired for a few years and had a few projects lined up that were worth the Kreg investment. So far I've make a trundle doll bed for my grand-daughter, two side tables/umbrella stands for by the pool, and a stamp pad rack (100 slots) for a neighbor. Another grand-daughter turned 4 yesterday and informed me that she wants a bunk bed for her doll, so that will be next.

Hello Everyone.  Been using my Kreg Jig for just over a year now.  What a great way to get into woodworking.  I've got at least a dozen projects under my belt, some of which I posted yesterday.  Looking forward to learning much more here with all of you experienced woodworkers.  I'm still struggling with staining and finishing of the wood, but I guess that comes in time also.

My name is Richard I'm from Humble TX, its pronounced "umble". I have finally retired and now I have an opportunity to pursue my life long passion for woodworking to which I have very little experience. Throughout the years I have purchased some woodworking tools and hope to use them as soon as possible. I just finished making a Halloween coffin which will not stand up to close scrutiny but my grandkids love it.
