I just have the small Kreg Jig. That thing looks sweet though. I will have to look into this.I own a lot of woodworking stuff. If you have a smaller shop this thing is fantastic.
Only complaint from most people is that the top can pinch your fingers during setup if you don't pay attention (never happened to me).
Also, if you live in the metro join the Des Moines Woodworkers club. They meet regularly at Woodsmith store.
Can’t be real....your shop is too clean!New son's dresser.
I really like it a lot. When folded up it doesn't take up much space at all.I just have the small Kreg Jig. That thing looks sweet though. I will have to look into this.
I have the 40 dollar version of the jig and I’ve used the crap out of it with no complaints. That being said, I’m kind of a do more with less type of woodworker so I’ll probably never go up to the more expensive versions. The newer version looks a little different than what I have but I’m sure it functions the same.
I have been disappointed in my last few Kreg tool purchases but the pocket hole jig is kind of their thing.
Impressive stuff, hoping to get on your level someday. Currently slowly but surely building up my tool repertoire.

Acme and Woodsmith probably have them on display.
Yes the only issues with Woodsmith is most everything is MSRP, so if you are a huge Amazon price compare type of person, its going to not be your cup of tea.Woodsmith has a great Kreg area.
I love going to Woodsmith and Acme. I would love it more if I had $3,000 I could spend every time I went.

It's probably for the best I don't live closer to Des Moines or I'd really be in trouble with buying tools there.Woodsmith has a great Kreg area.

But the people are super knowledgeable and the store is a big asset to the metro.
I mentioned Des Moines Woodworkes, and if you are a member you get a discount there.
Do you mind sharing which ones you have been disappointed in? Most of the product work I have done here has not hit the market but myself and the guys I work with here are always looking for feedback and ways to further improve products.
Its mostly production issues I think. I had to get a replacement pocket square deal because the metal ruler had a ton of play in the guides. It was almost worthless trying to use it as a square.
The automaxx clamps I have are almost worthless. The tension is never the same when trying to use them repetitively. I contacted Kreg about them and they said there was a production issue and to completely loosen the tension screw and retighten them. That did absolutely nothing to fix it. I wish they still sold the old style clamps in the bigger sizes.
Great work on those projects @AgronAlum . Thanks for setting up this thread as well. I recently just moved so my shop is a disaster right now but the nice thing is I now have a deep 2 car garage and a dedicated wood shop room off of it to work with.
I thought I was talented, maybe not lol. I use pine for top surfaces. Will post pictures later.
Up until the middle of August I was doing everything out of a cramped basement shop. I just about killed myself and a couple of my friends getting all of the stationary power tools and my bench hauled out. Now I've got an over sized (heated) garage stall that I'm slowly setting up. Once I'm all settled in it should be a great space to work in.Yeah I’m doing all this out of a standard two car that my wife thinks she still needs to park in. That and having two kids and their crap everywhere makes space a bit of an issue. I’ll post after awhile what my shop area looks like after rebuilding it a few months back.
