Hello, my name is Louie and I live in Beckley, WV. I am just getting started in woodworking, but love making things. I hope to get some ideas and chat about projects that i would like to build.

Hey Ed, I love the look of your treasure chest. Did you put it together with Kreg?

Hi, my name is Ed Strahs from Onalaska, WI. I am retired and decided to take up woodworking as a hobby. I have made several small things including a treasure chest for one of grandsons for Xmas. I am including a pic of this item.

Hello all-
My name is Chris and my wife bought me a Kreg system earlier this year to make a spice rack for the back of our pantry door. Since then I haven't really had time to make much with it until a neighbor wanted me to make some bookends for her this Christmas. Now I'm going to try and get back into learning what this tool can do.

Hi! My name is Mike Ryan but usually go by "Pop" to all my friends and my son's friends. I live out in the countryside of South Central Pa. I've been working with wood since 10th grade and even before when my father would let me "build" something in his shop. That makes some of the splinters and boo boos I have at least 60 years old now. I found working with wood to be so interesting and at times even obsessive. Think about it.. what other media can bring joy to not only the builder but the recipient of the project as well. AND if the project turns out to be a bust... can even supply you with heat on a cold Winter day! My projects range from the usual to the unusual. I always believe anything can be made out of wood. My wood locks (that work) are an example of that. My wood motor is another outside of the box project too. "Ethel" is my biggest project to date. I hope you enjoy my projects and pictures as much as I'm looking forward to seeing yours and sharing our knowledge of the craft with everyone. We need to get the upcoming generations away from the ipads, tablets  and electronic distractions and out into the wood shop to make some saw dust.

Yes, I did build this with Kreg for the main box.

Hey Mike,my name is Kelly and I live in SouthCentral Pa also. Where abouts are you from?

Retired, homeowner multiple college degrees, do-it-yourselfer that would rather build it myself than buy it, plus i will make it better than most store bought benches, tables, beds, anything of wood. Admired my brothers Kreg stuff this summer, and ended up with some of it for xmas. Looking forward to stronger, and better joints, and final projects. Kids have projects lined up waiting for me to buy wood and get started. Absolutely going to get more accessories, clamps, guides, etc.

hello folks, my name is Bill , I am a retired electrician doing some woodworking as a hobby and have recently acquired some Kreg pocket hole tools and I am very please with their ease of use.

Hi everyone , my name is Roger Driver and I live in Indiana . I am a diesel and heavy equipment mechanic by trade and have been for more than 30 years. We just bought a house in a rural community and my wife wants to have the house in an old farm style decor. I made my first piece ( a farm style table , which turned out pretty good !!!) I just got a Kreg 3 that I happened to see on TV. I belive the table would have been more sturdy using the Kreg pocket jig . Haven't used it yet with the limited space , but I'm looking forward to making the entryway organizer. Might take me awhile with my shift work and winter coming on. I'm very new at wood working but the table was something I enjoyed doing. With the price of old style I believe I'll enjoy making everything we want.

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…
