Hey gang. I got the Kreg K4 for Christmas. Now, I'm new to woodworking and general carpentry (I've never done a dovetail or a mortise/tenon - probably never will) but boy was using this jig a real charm.
I built out a miter saw stand using the Kreg. Gosh I was assembling things solid and relatively quickly. I've read on a number of sites that the Kreg Pocket Hole w/ their self tapping industrial screws are as strong or stronger then a mortise and tenon. I don't know if thats true or not, but it seems exceptionally stout to me.
This has me rethinking how to make workbench 2.0. Without all the complicated joinery that many of the plans call for, I might be able to get away with something functional, sturdy, and actually DOABLE for me.
Love this jig.
