I am a long time woodworking hobbyist 50 years). I have a tremor in my hands and Kreg allows me to continue doing what I love.

I truly thank you for that.

Hello,

My name is Ryan and I live in Sylvania, Ohio. I wanted to start getting into wood working and building some projects for my home. The wife gave me the green light for the Kreg K4 and worktable. I've had a blast so far with it and just completed a very nice head board for our bed. I look forward to picking up a lot more projects from this site!

Hi, Everyone!
I'm a 60 year old retired Paramedic in Charlotte, NC.  I'm a BRAND NEW woodworker, although I've suffered two strokes and am a Type 2 diabetic.  That's NOT gonna stop me. LOL  (I'll just take my time and not rush ANYTHING, so I get it right and keep all my fingers and appendages!)
I've watched probably several hundred woodworking videos on You Tube, and feel like I've learned a LOT (enough to hopefully not make too many screw-ups and be at least reasonably safe.  I've also learned a plethora of tips and tricks to use and have assembled a LOT of woodworking tools (powered and non-powered), measuring and marking tools, and woodworking adjuncts, INCLUDING almost everything Kreg makes (and a BUNCH of Kreg screws!!!- LOL)
I'm looking forward to at least several years (Good Lord willin' and tha creek don't rise) of hobby-level woodworking.  
I may not be very active on here, but I like having the resource available if needed.  I WILL check here to see "what's new" at least fairly often.  
May God richly bless all of you and keep you safe while enjoying your crafty hobby/ies!!! :-)

I'm SO NEW, in fact, that I have yet to build a semi-permanent workbench/table.  Have used a pretty flat old (plain) door laid across a couple sawhorses as a work surface.  I've built my first crosscut sled for my contractor style table saw.  Just got that done a couple weeks ago, so maybe that'll let you know just how new I am.  Anyway, I'm hoping to get at least several years of enjoyment out of this newfound hobby during my retirement.  :-)

@Scott, it would be wonderful to see your crosscut sled creation.  Would you post a picture?  Thanks.

Welcome, @Tom.  You will do well in woodworking.  As for your grandchildren, I, too, just became a grandmother again this past Sunday...this time it was a granddaughter!  It is wonderful being grandparents.

[Ada Berry]

Hi, I'm Ada and I live in Luther OK.  I am a beginner woodworker.  I had to redo my kitchen cabinets due to mold so, after pricing new cabinets, I decided to buy books and tools and build my own. My woodworking friend said to get the Kreg tools.  couldn't have done it without them.  I'm sure I will need lots of help in the future so am grateful for this forum.
