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.

Hello, I'm Joe from Suffolk County, NY. Iv'e been a construction carpenter since out of high school. Due to the current state of economic stagnation, I am now a custodian for a school district. I have a 20x30 wood shop in my basement, which for the better half of about 30 years iv'e worked on different cabinet/furniture projects. I've converted what used to  be a hobby into something of a part time job. I look forward to discussing new techniques with other wood workers as well sharing my own knowlegde to better the quality of my work.
welcome Joe you sound very interesting and looking forward to seeing some projects

My dad taught me to swing a hammer before I could walk. I always remember 'helping' him out in the woodshop when I was growing up. I fell in love with woodworking at an early age and now have a wife that loves my woodworking and supports my addictions... err... I mean hobbies.

So with my love for woodworking and remodeling, of course my 9 to 5 would be a... Software Engineer.  hehe

Hello, I live in PA. I have a degree to teach Industrial Arts, never did; was an electrician in the U.S.Navy for one enlistment; owned and operated a garment decorating/screen printing business for 20 years, am a journeyman electrician and worked at that for 12 years; at 61 was laid off for a long time and started a remodeling business because no on seemed interested in hiring the "old guy" (but most of them still can't rip down a mountain on skiis like me :) ... So, I am a jack of all trades, master of none, but having all kinds of fun designing, creating and building for myself, my family and others (when I get a contract).
I'm a commercial truck driver. Kind of looking to get out of it soon.
