I am organizing a home office..

[Fritz]

Good day to everyone,

My name is Fritz and I live in Toronto, Canada. The weather hasn't been too bad lately. We have had some snow but hot as bad as the USA...I am writing this as the storm Jonas is hitting the Eastern US. Hopefully it won't do too much damage. Anyway, I have done some basic woodwork, mostly in my house, such as fixing things such as cupboards, repair wooden chairs and made some wooden boxes. etc. I would like to learn more and that's why I joined the community.

Hello Kreg Community,

I am a 38 year old father of 2. I am a Automotive fleet mechanic and Woodworking is one of my many hobbies. I am a beginner. I recently bought the Kreg DIY kit and realize with my first project that I wish I had got it sooner

[ken reed]

Hello  my name is Ken and I live in northeast Ok. my hobbies include making fishing poles along with fishing and hunting. I have worked with wood off and on for many years. a friend (who is a woodworking instructor) introduced me to Kreg after having problems with a project and I loved it. I joined this group to get some great advice and hopefully learn some things and possibly share some.

Ron from east central Illinois (I don't like to admit it though). Retired a few years ago and just getting all the rust and dust off my tools. Putting a new wood shop up as soon as the weather breaks.

[Jim Veazey]

Hi! I'm Jim Veazey.  I live in Emporia, Kansas.  I've done several projects in the past, but consider them amateurish  I want to get better at woodworking.  The Kreg tools have given me a new confidence to begin making some good projects in my retirement.  I'm 3.  I look forward to learning from the membership at the Kreg Community.

[John Gibbs]

I'm John and have always had a passion to work with my hands.  i think it is because my work always involved telephone and computer work and at the end of the day there was no visual reference to tell that I had done something.  In my wood shop I could spend some time and actually had something to show for it.  I never had a shop class.  My school was so small we didn't have such things.  My only instructors were Wood Magazine and Woodsmith Magazine.  Over the years I've slowly added tools and gotten better at woodworking.  Now I am retired and I can play for hours on end in my shop.  I live in Minnesota so it is usually a winter activity because when summers come around there is just too many things I want to do outside.  My shop is 26 x 30 with a 9' ceiling.  It is insulated and heated.  Lately I have been building the bean bag toss games and doing scroll saw work. 

[Lupe]

Hello Kreggers!

My name is Lupe. A stay at home grandmother, recent college graduate, and ready to learn a new skill. After watching many talented people build so many wonderful and brilliant projects, I wanted to give it a try. I have visited numerous websites to learn what I can about woodworking. From time to time I have used a circular saw, drill, sander- little projects. I am ready to build a big project. I have downloaded some plans for a farmhouse table with a triple base of some kind-Ana White of course. I am so excited to get started. I just purchased the Kreg 5 with all kinds of other accessories from Amazon. I just need to get a brad nailer and a good sander. Oh-and a jig saw. I understand these are the base tools to get started.

I am looking forward to learning a new skill and appreciating the talents of others who are willing to share. Blessings to all.

[Keith Wales, Sr]

Hi, my name is Keith and I live in North Carolina.  I have been building things from wood for over 50 years but now that I am retired I am really have the time to get into it.  I have posted some pictures of projects I have in the works or finished.  I am looking forward to seeing others projects and learning more about the Kreg Tools.  I have a Kreg Pocket Hole kit, a Kreg router table w/ fence and a Kreg Miter Gauge that goes from my saw to the router as needed.  I want to build the Kreg design storage cabinet for under my router table next.
