[Phil Stevens]

Hello all my name is Phil. I live in Maryland, love music and want to build custom storage for my music - apothecary drawer cabinet for CD's and custom storage for music books and sheet music. But I am a complete newbie to woodworking so to start I want to use my K4 system to repair and strengthen existing bookcases and storage.

Hi my name is Elizabeth and I live in Georgia. I am retired and find myself doing DIY projects with my time.  I recently installed laminate flooring and new baseboard molding in my kitchen (first time). I actually love working with wood. I am interest in making a sturdy desk for my home office. I just purchased Kreg Jig 5 Master System and accu-cut.  Wish me luck.  

[Thomas Boal]

Hello from Houston!  My name is Tom -- my wife and I have been transplanted Iowans here in TX for the past 14 years.  I grew up on a farm in Southeast Iowa where I spent many wintery days in my dad’s woodshop learning the craft from him.  After getting married and raising a family, the woodworking bug has bitten me once again.  I’ve been intrigued with the expanding Kreg system and I am pleased to say I am hooked!  Just completed my first shelving project and have a ton of other ideas brewing – thanks to my wife of course!  Glad to be a part of the community.

[Ruben]

Hello my name is Ruben I live in S.A Texas I am an electrician by trade but around 2 years ago I built my first shelves for my son's toys and something just triggered and I have not stopped making things ever since. What I enjoy most is surprising friends and family with homemade gifts. The easy of making joints with Kreg gave me the confidence to keep building. I look foward to being part of the Kreg community.

[Christopher Cleveland]

Hi, my name is Christopher I live in Wisconsin (go packers). Used to do carpentry projects years ago and would like to get into it again. Kreg tools looks to make some of the things I struggled with much easier so here I am going to buy my jig and do some test pieces then look for a design to build. 

Thanks

[Vassie H. Ennis]

Hi, my name is Vassie and I live in Campobello, SC. I'm retired so that gives me more time for all my hobbies. I've always enjoyed making things with wood and a few years back I got into building guitars. I had to make all the jigs and a wood bender and fabricate all the parts of the guitar. My basement is my shop. There's nothing more relaxing than the smell of fresh saw dust in the morning.

[Don]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Don, I'm in Central Illinois and I have no experience in building with wood.  I guess I'm a wood builder wanna be.  However, I am interested in learning and trying some things out.  In the process of making a dinner table to accommodate quite a few people who gather at my wife and my home.  I'll return and post a photo or two when I'm done.  

I joined this community to have a place I can read, learn, and ask questions.  I've purchased a quite a few Kreg tools and got some ideas of a few projects I'd like to try.

[Ken Darga]

Don,

Check out your local nearby home centers.

Some have a selection of books that you can look thru, to see if there's anything that you can build, at your skill level.

Also, check out your local library.
