From looking at my plans, you can tell I’m no stranger to using pocket hole joinery and that I clearly like it. A lot. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it helps build confidence in beginner and intermediate woodworkers. Plus, advanced folks like to use it too, even though some won’t want to admit it.
Kreg Tool has released it’s new Kreg Jig K5 and features several advancements over previous models. Click on the image below to see my full review of what Kreg calls “the most advanced Kreg Jig yet”.

The function of Chief’s Shop Rustic Buffet is clear by its name, but it also could serve as a hall table or a work table for crafts, homework, etc. You’ll need a miter saw, jig saw, and Kreg Jig to complete it. To maintain a rustic look, intentionally select lumber with a lot of knots and heavy grain patterns.
