IF YOU FIND ME WORHY, I REALLY NEED THIS KREG ROUTER TABLE TO ADD TO MY OTHER KREG TOOLS

[Allan Peacock]

WORKSPACE:  WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT

-IT IS MY DOUBLE CAR GARAGE, IN WHICH I HAVE NEVER PARKED MY CARS.

-MY PROJECTS DO NOT REQUIRE TO TRAVEL TOO FAR TO GET TO WORK.

WORKSPACE:  WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT IT

-ANY CLEAR OPEN WORK SPACE I NEED, THE NEXT THING I KNOW MY DEAR   WIFE HAS CONFISCATED IT FOR HER STORAGE AREA FOR HER STUFF.

-POOR LIGHTING

-COOL IN WINTER

-IT IS NOT ORGANIZED THE WAY I WANT IT TO BE SO IT IS MORE EFFICIENT

 FOR WORKING.

-I AM ALWAYS HAVING TO MOVE THINGS AROUND AND OUT OF THE WAY

 BEFORE I AM ABLE TO GET STARTED TO WORK.

-I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR TOOLS, OR PARTS OR ACCESSORIES AND JIGS

-SHORTAGE OF STORAGE FOR MATERIALS, SUPPLIES AND ACCESSORIES.

BUILDING TIPS

-KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO BEFORE YOU START

-KNOW HOW YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE AND COMPLETE THE PROJECT

-HAVE A PLAN!!!

-HAVE ALL MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES AS WELL AS HARDWARE AHEAD OF    TIME SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STOP AND BE INTERRUPTED TO GO AND  PICK UP SOMETHING. 

-AN INTERRUPTION CAN GET YOU GONG IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, IT  CAN HAVE YOU GETTING SIDETRACKED, PUT THE DAILY BRAKES ON  YOUR  CONCENTRATION AND MOTIVATION.

-HAVE A CLEAR PATH AND CLEAN WORKING AREA AROUND YOUR TOOLS,  MACHINES AND MACHINE TOPS.

-WORKING SAFELY, MEANS WORKING IN A NEAT AND CLEAN        ENVIRONMENT, WHICH HELPS TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.

-HAVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT IN GOOD OPERATION.  HAVE PUSH STICKS AND

 FEATHER BOARDS AVAILABLE AND WITHIN EASY REACH.

-KNOW WHERE YOUR "STOP" AND "SHUT-OFF" SWITCHES ARE.

FAVORITE TOOL FOR PROJECTS

-MY FAVORITE KREG TOOL IS THE POCKET JOINERY JIG.

-I USE THIS FOR ALL MY CABINET CONNECTING JOINTS.

-KREG FACE CLAMPS AND CORNER CLAMPS ARE LIKE A THIRD HAND,  HELPING ME GET THE CABINET JOINTS PERFECT.

-FOR MEASURING AND CALCULATING DEPTHS, THE MULTI-MARK IS     INVALUABLE.

SOME PROJECTS I'VE MADE

-I HAVE BUILT WINE STORAGE CABINETS, DAY BEDS, AND AN OFFICE 

 SUPPLY STORAGE AND COFFEE CENTER

MY NEXT PROJECT

-WE REALLY NEED THIS PROJECT.  I HAVE BEEN THINKING AND DRAWING  PLANS FOR IT FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

-I REFER THE PROJECT TO A "VERTICAL WALK-IN CLOSET".

-OUR MASTER BEDROOM HAS A LONG WALL CLOSET WHICH IS JUST NOT  FUNCTIONAL.

-IT IS DARK---NO LIGHTING IN IT.

-VIRTUALLY ONE VERY LONG SHELF, WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW PROPER  STORAGE, OR ORGANIZING OF CLOTHES, SHOES, BELTS, SCARFS, HATS,  ACCESSORIES, OR SWEATERS, BLANKETS AND BEDDING.

FAVORITE PROJECT

I WAS AT A SALES OFFICE WHICH WAS SMALL AND CRAMPED.  I THOUGHT THAT IF THEY TOOK AN EIGHT FOOT LONG CABINET TABLE OUT, THEN THAT WOULD GIVE THEM MORE OFFICE AREA AND SPACE AS WELL AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLACE A COUPLE OF CHAIRS IN THE OFFICE FOR CUSTOMERS TO SIT DOWN ON.

THE OWNER DID NOT WANT TO LOOSE THE TABLE, BECAUSE ON THE TOP OF THE TABLE THEY HAD ALL THE BEVERAGE STUFF.  COFFEE MAKER, TEA KETTLE, COFFEE GROUNDS, TEA BAGS, CREAM, SUGAR, DONUTS AND NAPKINS.

THE SHELVES, DOORS AND DRAWERS UNDER THE TABLE WAS USED AS STORAGE FOR THE OFFICE.  PAPER, FILES, PENS, FOLDERS, ETC.

I DREW UP A PLAN AND SHOWED THE OWNER HOW THEY COULD DO EVERYTHING IN A WELL DESIGNED VERTICAL CABINET THAT WOULD BE FUNCTIONAL AND LOOK GREAT.

THE BOTTOM OF THE CABINET WOULD HOLD THEIR SUPPLIES.

THE CENTER OF THE CABINET WOULD BE SET UP FOR THE COFFEE, TEA BEVERAGE CENTRE.

THE TOP WOULD BE FOR DECORATION, FLOWERS, ORNAMENTS, AND PLAQUES.

I DID IT ALL WITH KREG POCKET JOINERY.  IT WAS BUILT IN TWO PIECES- TOP AND BOTTOM, WHICH MADE IT EASY TO HANDLE AND TRANSPORT. ONCE IN THE OFFICE I FINISHED THE ASSEMBLY WITH THE KREG POCKET JOINERY.

IT WAS BUILT WITH BIRCH PLYWOOD WHICH I FINISHED AND STAINED, AND ONCE THE OWNER FINISHED ARANGING EVERYTHING, IT REALLY LOOKED BEAUTIFUL, AND HE COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH SPACE IT SAVED, AND HOW MUCH EXTRA SPACE IT GAVE BACK TO THE ROOM.
