The Pocket Hole Jig is a brilliant little tool that helps you create joints. We show you how to use a Kreg Jig to make pocket holes perfectly every time. It’s hard to deny the visual appeal of a wedged tenon, tight dovetails, a double bridle joint, or maybe just a simple rabbet joint with […]
In a perfect world, we’d conveniently build furniture and casework at our shops with the workflow set up just the way we like it. Then we’d pack it up for easy transport, unload it without a hitch, and carry it gently to its installation point. What a breeze, right? That’s a far cry from reality, […]
The Metabo HPT C12RSH2 comes with some street cred, and some big shoes to fill. It’s the second iteration of Metabo HPT’s cult classic C12RSH that has since been discontinued. When Metabo HPT originally designed the original C12RSH, they gained a loyal following of woodworkers by offering forward-thinking features. Fine adjustment knobs for both bevel […]

It brought out attention to the beautifully crafted wood band and watch case along with carefully selected materials complement it. Now we have the opportunity to look at the limited edition Jord Dover Ebony & Copper model. […]
Kreg Jig K5 Master System Set to Launch in September Kreg introduced the K5 Pocket Hole Jig a couple of years ago. Users raved about some of the improvements that had been made over the K4, particularly the front mounted clamp handle. Kreg tells us that the K5 is the culmination of the best that […]
AWFS 2015 Shows Off New Products and Outstanding Craftsmanship For the most part, woodworking trade shows are regional, but once a year there is a show that garners national attention. This year, it was AWFS 2015 (Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers) in Las Vegas. Vegas in July? Yep, you guessed it. It was HOT. A strange […]
We’ve liked how easy Rockler made it to create custom shelving out of hardwood and some accessories, and now the company has just added two new sizes of I-Semble Shelf Blocks. Two new Rockler I-Semble Shelf Blocks sizes (6″ x 8″ and 6″ x 13″) join the existing 10″ x 13″ model and let you […]
