Build a Kreg Keg Crate. Say that three times fast!

I love the kreg pocket hole system I use it all the time. I bought mine…........ They gave that to you? ...........WTF

I have a Kreg jig also and I love it. But I bet I would love it more if they sent me a free one…
The one you have is a little different setup than mine though. I have the Kreg K3 Master System and the handle for the work holding clamp is where you have an empty spot to clamp it to your bench. I like this style for the ability to clamp it to a bench and also on mine it has to hang off the edge of the bench because the mechanism actually swings below the bottom surface of the jig.
Still a great setup though and this project was really neat. I had seen some of your videos on YouTube before but I didn’t realize you were on LumberJocks. I think you were cutting a circle on a table saw in the first YouTube video of yours I saw.

Yes, Kreg gave it to Steve for free. All he had to do was create a youtube page, record several videos that had mass appeal over the course of a couple years detailing how he put together a number of projects of his own design :)

I probably will just spend the hundred bucks and get one myself.

Cool project Steve,

I have the old original one that I bought years ago. It is definitely not as cool as yours but it still works fine. Nothing much to break on it.

Oh good Steve, now you are going to get hate mail about “drinking on the job…”

Love the design man! Very well done. Do you have plans you are willing to post? I have to make one of these. Love the videos man, keep ‘em coming!

Cool video Steve…. I received a Kreg jig for Christmas and love it…

Cool deal… You get a Kreg Pocket Jig for having fun making a video… Home Run Bud!

Didn’t want to give the wrong impression. (David Craig). Cool video Steve. I know you work hard. You are also a complete nut job….. or very creative, I vote for crazy. I do agree with Topamax, warm beer Yuck! I also bet you never use this to store beer in unless you like warm beer…... I use the small fridge I have in my shop. So your madness does fall a little short in conception. It will make a fine place to store your PARTS though.

Yeah, I agree about the warm beer. I should have built in a lower compartment to hold one of those blue freezie things. Actually, a cold six pack won’t be in that crate long enough to get warm, anyhow!

I now like both David Craig and Stevinmarin. I’d be happy to sell you both some Curly Maple ;) lol send me a PM and I’ll hook you guys up with a lumberjock discount. I’m also a smart ass. Let’s not let this distract us from the point here.
Hands down; bought with money or hard work, the Kreg pocket hole system is a universal multi function shop tool that provides easy, clean joinery for any woodworker mortal or not, crazy or sane. Check out my projects page the Curly Cherry table and both Chests were made using the kreg pocket hole jig for the joinery.
