Kreg Owners' Community

Just thought I would start a discussion on woodworkers real jobs. It would be fun to no if there are lots of professional people using Kreg Jig along with people  like myself a retired  construction worker.

Hi everyone,

I'm a retired Lt.from the Mass. Dept of Corrections where I was employed as a prison employee for 29 years. Upon my retirement I set up a woodshop and am teaching myself though books and internet sites the skills of woodworking. Although this is new to me I've learned a lot and have enjoyed the projects that I have completed.I have found the Kreg jig system as well as their websites to be a valuable tool in my projects.
