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!

    I’ve been a fan of Kreg for a long time. It make joining wood simple and fun. I’ve built head boards, cabinets and just simple fun projects like Mag-Bulletin boards etc. My next project is an entertainment center for the family room. Would love to have a new jig to help move the project along!! Kreg make’s great stuff!!

    Keep up the good work Kreg folks, you not only make woodworking more fun, but MUCH easier! With your help, I’m mastering my woodworking skills and hope to one day use the Kreg Jig to build a gazebo. I’ll be asking for the Kreg Deck Jig for Father’s Day, can’t wait!

    Well there is lots on my list, but my number one right now would be a custom cabinet to house litter boxes, pet food and other supplies for our furry children. Also would love a custom bench/hall tree for our small entry way.
