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 always wanted to build a big box with hinged lid and cabinets on the front. It would serve as a window seat with storage that could be reached either through the top or the side if things are sitting on top!

    I want to build a oak island that my wife has wanted for the last 5 years, but I am just now getting most of the tools needed to build it. Maybe I will be able to build it this year.

    My big woodworking projects coming up are some cabinets for our porch, sewing room cabinets and then kitchen cabinets. The Kreg jig would be perfect for these projects!

    As a novice woodworker I bought the Kreg Jig to make my projects not only better but easer. Now it seams like every other day I keep dreaming up a new one. Today it’s a fireplace with mantel. Who knows what I’ll dream up next.

    I would love to win these tools, so my husband could build me the island he has drawn of how he wants to build the island. He has just bought a table saw, a band saw, and a belt and disc sander, so I am praying that he gets to build it this year and these tools would help him in several projects he wants to build after he gets the island built. I get so excited every time he talks about building it, since I have mentioned it several times in the last five years since we purchased our new double wide mobile home.
