    Kreg Jig Mount

    I made a mount for my Kreg jig K4. I know most of you guys like your K3 better but I bought mine before I read your thought on here. Anyway I got the idea from a recent Wood magazine and added my own dimensions and design to it. It is made mostly of mahogany plywood and the stringers on the ends are maple. Let me know what you think good or bad.

    That's a great idea - if mine didn't hang on the wall, I'd be all over that. It also wouldn't shock me to see Kreg come out with something similar now - made of blue plastic of course.

    Great idea. Elevates your work, stores your screws and parts. Such a deal!

    Don, the one I stole the idea from had a hole in one end just for hanging it on the wall.

    Art, I was thinking the same thing when I was building it but couldn't find a useful spot for pocket holes.

    Thanks for the compliments everyone.

    Nice looking storage unit for all those screws and other small items as well. I mounted mine to a piece of plywood so I could hang it up.

    Very nice. Gotta love any widget that does the job and stores the pieces at the same time!

    Here is a link to the article I got the idea from, they put a hole in one end so it could be hung on the wall. As you can see mine is a little bit bigger also.
