Not the biggest but does everything I need, to keep it altogether I made up a little box for storage…….
kinda gives me a chance to grab what I need at a glance…..

That’s a nice set up. Kreg is awesome.
Very nice comp!
nice man – I like that….kreg is just awesome to use
do you buy the pocket hole plugs?
I use 3/8 dowels to cover them up, its cheaper 😛
yes I bought a pack to have and yet it’s funny cause if I’m working with paduak, oak, black ash mahogany ect ect I make my own doweling with the router…….so I get a nice match…..
Oh nice. Ya i just wanted to mention it 😛
Very nice setup. I’ve been thinking about getting a box to keep my kreg jigs and parts separate from everything else. Kreg systems are awesome.
I won the kreg system a while back, have since bought the kreg hd. It worked awesome wh I was doing deck rails.
I have the K5 too. Nice jig to own.
Om going to buy the HD too. Helps in certain projects
Nice decking job Chad
nice work chad!
I love Kreg. Lowes just started stocking the pocket hole machine. Might need to get it eventually.
you won’t regret it, I know I’ve taken on more projects having it……such a time saver…..
ya its quick and easy to build something with the kreg jig. you can hide the screws perfectly
I first used a kreg jig when i was in high school, my dad has one too that i used on a few projects. Great tool indeed!
its definitely worth the price
one of my favorite accessory tools
I really like the Kreg system when I am making shop projects like stands, shelves, carts, etc. Very easy to use. My Kreg box does not look anything like that.
Did u put that kreg setup together yourself. I’ve been meaning to get something like that, but if they already have a kit that would be great.
yes it is a home made set up, found the box at wal-mart for $9 and just added clear acrylic dividers to keep different screw sizes separate put the logo on the box …….done deal…..
Lowes carries a nice Kreg box with a few hundred screws inside. Very nice pivot top.
I use the Kreg jig quite often and am thinking of pulling the trigger on the Foreman…..
I’ve been dying to get a Kreg set. Nice box set up Comp
That foreman looks great, u should pull the trigger.
I would but still to much money…..I will wait just in case it goes on sale…….and bang…..
picked up one of these clamps for the kreg jig……so you can screw in a joint tight and straight…..haven’t put it to work yet but just showing a couple of pics…..notice the size of it I didn’t think it was that big…..

that foreman is really expensive. I would rather use the heck out of a k4 or k5 system
I know ur gonna put that tool to work quick comp.
Kreg is a nice way to go in a lot of situations. Nice set up

I would have never run out and bought the k5, but when it’s free u don’t complain. I have found a lot of uses, especially after picking up the hd to use with it. That rail was made with the hd and k5.
Came out nice chad.
Thanks bigmike, I’ve since put them all around the deck and stairs, and built a gate. My wife’s only complaint is that she wished the post had been higher.
Hey comp how much did that clamp set u back.

$22 free shipping……haven’t yet tried it but from the feel of it seems to be built well……
I just got 10 0/0 off for signing up, maybe I’ll have to pick it up.
About three years ago u got a Husky toolbox as a gift. It is made by Keeter who also makes the Kreg box. So, three years ago I put my Kreg stuff in it. I’m liking Comps collection, he’s got more clamps screws everything but here’s mine. They still sell the box at HD and it is a really good quality tool box and secures well and the main compartment has plenty of room for the Kreg tools that you may have!
man I REALLYY need to step up my kreg game here……
Tell me about it big mike. Nice set up Chris.
my kreg stuff is just sitting on my workbench and collects dust atm.
when im done with the garage then it will get its own spot
I have this cabinet for more stationary screws…holds a few ……
I have some of those kreg clamps.
I’d like to try the Rockler clamp out. I was so close to buying it and then said “Nahhh”. I am thinking about getting the dog set from Precision Dogs and putting the Kreg face clamp on it and then into the holes on my MFT.
R the precision dogs the one’s that r supposed to work best with the mat table.
