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!

    Woohoo! My dream project would be to build (or repurpose) an armoire for my crafting supplies so I can work….but then shut the doors and hide my in-process projects. Also storage so it’s all in one place. I want to DIY this so it’s custom for ME! My husband thinks I’m crazy but he might be on board with some new tools!

    Not my woodworking dream, but my dream for my husband’s woodworking skills include some great shelves like yours for all over our home. It would be awesome if he could have handcrafted our daughter’s name in wood letters for her room.

    I’M GETTIN’ JIGGY!!

    Where to begin… I ‘wood’ love (nudge, nudge. get it?) for my husband and I to make a small bookcase for my 5-month old daughter’s nursery to display books and little toys that she can safely grab and play on the floor with. I’d also love to make our own headboard and even rework our kitchen cabinets. Actually, come to think of it, there’s probably at least one wood project per room in our house that is on my wish list!

    What would I do with it? I would first rip out the most hideous built-in that ever was and rebuild it from scratch!!

    It was a DIY project gone wrong from one of the previous owners.

    Btw, I’m totally going to find a way to build those cute shelves you featured today for our nursery!! Thanks for the info.
