[Kent Smith]

Hi My name is Kent and I live in Moline IL.  I am retired and have time to work on things around my house.  I received a Kreg Jig 4 from my kids.  I used it to attach a 2x4 cap to the railing around a deck that I built.  I have enclosed pictures that show how the cap looks without any screws in it.  Thanks Kreg!

Hello, my name is Nathalie and I live in Utah. I try to do wood working as a hobby when time allows which is not much. But I have fun. I just bough a small RV trailer and trying to maximize the use of the space by building drawing under dinette bench and the bed. Finding the Kreg jig online and buying it has saved the day. Now it is time to attach the drawer sliders and it is a challenge to get all lined up.

[Roger Waskow]

Hi all. Roger is the name and staying active is the game of amongst other interests woodwork seems to be top of the list. Love my lathe, table saw, band saw and all my other hand tools. You might call me a tool collector but I do use them. I do a lot of handyman work as I am semi retired, live on an island in Queensland Australia called Russell/Canaipa (the indigenous name). I love island life. Small ecosystem on it's own with it's own vibe but we have an ageing community who are unable to do repairs for themselves and thats where I come in. So for a small charge to keep my tool buying habit I do repairs. Some of the oldies say if I ever leave the island they will haunt me once they have passed on so I'm not taking a chance and staying here. Also love photography, fishing my wife and grandchildren. All that keeps me young. Just finished building a deck for a guy who has transported a house over. Next job will be finishing the inside to make it comfortable. I, myself am not so young anymore and am developing the usual aches and pains which disappear once I get started. I used to work for Nature Conservation in Namibia, Africa and hence my love for the bush and solitude. I don't have woodworking friends on the island so there are no get together times and just do what woodworkers do best. Make saw dust. So please excuse me when I sometimes ramble on here. Gets a bit lonely at times.

Love being part of this community and thanks for having me.

I live on an island so material is the biggest issue. I think I'll start with a simple box for the grand children's lego's.

[Michele]

Hi there, my name is Michele and I'm from north east PA. I'm pretty new to wood working but got a Kreg setup recently and got to use it on the legs of a large connect four game board I'm making. I joined a while ago but just decided to post now since I was looking for plans/ideas for things, namely a wooden cooler I'd like to make. I also have a question about my current project so I'll post about that next. 

[Buzz Beard]

Hello I'm Buzz from Central TX. My work has been limited to repairs, derby cars and a trophy. I joined because I'm building a bunk bed from scratch using my Kreg Jig and reclaimed wood; I like to peruse different designs to create my own. I retired last year, my family and I love to travel and I love projects.

My names Teddy Barry. Beginner DIYer. Looking to eventually redo my entire garage with cabinets & shelving, as the current set up is outdated.
