The idea is to document some of my projects, primarily woodworking projects but we’ll see. Undoubtably there will be some other less woodworking specific endeavours that will make their way into the group.

New Tools
Some new tools that I’ve acquired for the latest project.
A while ago I bought the Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig® 520PRO with Pocket-Hole Screw Starter Kit and used it on a couple of projects. Now I’m hooked on Kreg products!
Pocket-Hole Jig For an upcoming project there is a requirement to breakdown sheets of 4×8 plywood into component parts. This has always been a problem in my basement shop with the radial arm saw. There just is not enough space to feed a full plywood sheet into the saw which would require a bare minimum of 16′, more like 20′. Not to mention the awkwardness of trying to handle the sheet by my self. So some aids are needed.
Another option is free-handing a cut with a skill saw or using some sort of guide. Free handing rarely turns out well when you are cutting for precision furniture projects. So, a guide of some sort helps the cut a lot.
First up is the Kreg Rip-Cut. This tool will take my skill saw and allow me to rip pieces up to 24″
Next, to do some cross cutting there is the Kreg Accu-Cut.
