Fab Freebie: Gettin’ Jiggy With It

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

If you read this morning’s post about DIYing some wood shelves for the nursery, then it should come as no surprise that this week’s giveaway is from Kreg Tools. They’re giving one of you the chance to take home their Kreg Jig, so – no matter your skill level – you can feel like real woodworker.

Kreg Jig Materials

After all, I hardly consider myself to be a master craftsman, but after my latest shelf-building adventure I’m itching to tackle more wood-related projects. They really can be addicting…

Shelves Close

In addition to the Jig itself, this week’s winner will also be snagging a 675-piece Screw Kit, a Face Clamp and a set of project plans to get you started. So with all that at your disposal, I promise not to be jealous if you build something more complex than me. Here’s how to enter:

  • PRIZE: A Kreg Jig, Screw Kit, Face Clamp and set of project plans.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M GETTIN’ JIGGY” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about your dream wood-related project. Is there something you’ve always wished you could build? Or a renovation that you dream of tackling with your own two hands?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 7th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: All 50 of the United States
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    Getting Jiggy with it!!

    Oh I hope to win this one so badly! My last semester of college, I took a woodshop/furniture design class and LOVED it so much. Now that I’ve graduated, I miss having access to all the wonderful equipment and tools. I’m making do with my mom’s circular saw and my wee orbital sander (which I finally caved and bought last weekend to finish a console I’ve been working on) but it would be SO NICE to get my own tool collection started. (And would definitely help me progress a little faster on said console).

    My fiance and I have fallen in love with Pottery Barn’s Rhys Coffee Table, but with the price tage of $699, it is WAAAAY beyond our budget. We’ve been toying with the idea of building it ourselves!
