Hi:
My name is Ed Baker, from Piperton, TN (ex Swanton, Vermont)
I've dabbled in woodworking for many years and decided to get into it further this Winter so asked for
the kreg Jig Kit which I got and have since purchased the Mini Jig. I've always been intrigued with this type of joinery and wanted to practice using it. Unfortunately, that did not happen and guess it won't happen for at least a little while. I just got out of the hospital from having a valve replacement and a bypass, so at the moment I'm a littlle sore. God willing, I'll be out in the shop making shavings in no time.
Yo Ed,
Thats pretty tough form, and possibly one of the most impressive situations for not doing any wood work!
I only hope they used some SS Kreg Screws in the Job, I havent found any material they won't hold together yet.

HI PHIL,
Have you looked at TRITON tools ? I belive they are produced in Australia. Good heavy duty tools

Hello. My name is Phil and I live in Australia. I am semi-retired and build wooden projects in my spare time. Never tried pocket hole joinery before but am about to find out how we go with the Kreg Jig. Hopefully it will save me time and improve joint accuracy/strength/appearance.
I am now looking for an accurate and precise manual mitre saw. I have always used an old mitre box and tenon saw and now need more precision and options. The best (?) I have found in Australia is a Nobex Champion NBX-80804 thru Carba-Tec. Cost around A$287.
Anybody used this unit, or got a better suggestion?
Hello Fellow Fort Worthian.
Its cool that you have a cabinet shop and get to build a lot of things. I just started into wood working and have some tools. I have been reading up on wood working and am trying to teach myself so that I can build things that I like. Currently I am finishing up a coffee table I built.

My name is David Baulch and I am from Fort Worth, TX. I retired from teaching HS English in public school after 36 years. During that time, after school - weekends - summers, I ran Baulch Custom Cabinets for 20+ years. School got very busy, I got very busy and allowed the business to go to the side while I began building (and using) computers. Even designed, built, and wired two labs at school. Finally retired in May, 2009 and have since been getting the shop back in order, new tools purchased, old tools refurbished, and my cabinet business, which has become a custom furniture business, back in order. I have the Kreg #3 system and have used it quite extensively in designing some furniture. Hopefully I can get a market for some of this "custom" stuff. If not, I will have no room in the shop and need to begin building "outside" just to get room. I love woodworking. Fun and rather addictive.
Hi David,
I am Jim Bertucci and I live in Garland, Texas. Seems we share a few things. I majored in Secondary Education with majors in English and Math, but never did start teaching. I also want to learn to make my own cabinets.
hope to talk to you.

Hi all,
My name is Dan and I live in southeastern Wisconsin. I am a DIYer and learned a lot from my dad and uncle about woodworking. I also took courses at a Tech. School concerning carpentry, roof framing, stair layout and framing and have built six houses and about as many garages with the help of my wife and family. I have put together some simple furniture using the " glue and brad " fastening system for joining the wood.
I just noticed a sale at Menards on the kreg kit where is includes a container of screws free with the jig. Most of the projects I forsee tackling with this jig will be made out of 3/4" Oak or Maple and Oak or Maple plywood. Could anyone suggest which type of scews to buy for this application. From my reading about the jig, I'm pretty sure I will use fine thread screws for hardwood, but what length for 3/4" applications?
Anyhow, that's my story.
Thanks,
Dan

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
