DIY Wood Tray Using Only 3 Tools– A simple project but looks like you made it using fancy woodworking skills! The Kreg 320 is a really handy jig to have in the shop, but it’s VERY basic. There are no bells and whistles. It’s more labor intensive than other jigs and more time consuming as you have to unclamp, move, reclamp every time you drill a hole. The K4 is made from impact-resistant polymer for strength and durability that Kreg customers expect. Creating a solid join between two pieces of timber with dowels and glue is an effective joinery method. But drilling accurate perpendicular holes is difficult without a guide like the Dübelprofi. It takes out all the guesswork when it comes to sizing as well. The K5– It is basically the K4 with a few more bells and whistles like a swiveling dust collection, extension wings that help hold a wider material level and some extra hidden storage.

I hope this helps clear up the difference between the Kreg jigs available and make a better, informed decision on which Kreg Jig to buy for you and your workshop.

Storage Bins with Dividers– This easy project can be used in so many ways! Store vegetables, toys, books… the list goes on! The joint is super strong. The angled screw produces a huge clamping pressure. When coupled with wood glue it makes a really strong joint. Just like with the 320, it’s a great option for beginners, small shops and for large panels that would be hard to maneuver around a workbench. But for very long boards or large plywood panels that would be difficult to get into an upright jig, this is a pretty valuable jig to have on hand. I’d recommend the 320 Kreg Jig for: Germany’s Wolfcraft are famous for their quality woodworking tools. Their Undercover jig set is billed as the complete set for invisible fastenings. I’m inclined to agree with them, it’s a handy kit supplied in its own carry case that keeps everything organised and out of trouble.

The simple blue plastic device is straightforward enough to work out without needing any special instructions. This is fortunate because it’s not supplied with any. Another one of the best doweling jigs I’ve come across is the Yours Bath 41 piece woodworking kit. It’s just about as simple as drilling jigs come, but it gets the job done without costing you much money at all. The Large Clamping Recess makes it easy to secure your jig to your workbench using Kreg multi-purpose Face Clamps or any common bar clamp or C-clamp. When you are looking at adding new tools to your workshop, I know it can be stressful when you aren’t sure what’s best for your situation.There is no clamping and waiting for glue to dry. Make the joint and move on to the next step. It helps get more done in less time. It may not be an accessory you are interested in using at the moment, but it is nice to have the option to add it on later if you decided to start cutting your own plugs at some point. The other two jigs don’t have that option. I am breaking down everything you need to know about using a Kreg Jig so you can start using it with confidence and build ALL THE THINGS!

That is how I built my first projects like the kid’s table and chair set, the apothecary media cabinet, and my workbench.Kreg also has a Kreg R3 Jr system which is super affordable and can be used for building and fixing.
