Kreg Mini jig

I've posted this before but for the new guys, I'll do it again. I just finished installing a couple of 12volt plugs. The trailer company just clamped the 110 plug to the 1/8" plywood, I wanted to do better than that, so I put in a couple of 3/4" x 3/4" "studs" on either side of the box. Anyone who owns a trailer needs one of these $20 jigs http://www.kregtool.com/pocket-hole-jigs-prodlist.html You also need the special 1 1/4" coarse screws and Robertson (square recess) screw driver bit.

  • I got the Kreg Jig Jr. Used it a couple times on the trailer.

    I added some framing inside the end of the kitchen sink counter for mounting the tv shelf I removed from the bedroom when I added a wall mounted LCD flat panel.

    I used it when doing some work under the tub when I corrected a lousy drain plumbing fix under the tub the dealer did. I needed to add a couple of 1 x 2's to the vertical tub framing to give better support to the tub front paneling so it didn't push in along the edge of the sink cabinet. The dealer cut the out to get to the plumbing and put in a new piece without properly supporting it.

    Plan to do some cabinet shelf additions and supports with the jig as well as some additional framing under the queen bed for some gas struts and drawers.
  • I bought one of those to make a deck box last year. Neat little tool and you get a fairly solid joint with a little wood glue!
  • I got the full kit from Santa a couple years ago. You can pull the guide from the jig and use it like the mini.

    I had to rebuild the one by 4 frame in the rear garage door on my 5er and the jig was great for joining 1 by 4's that have to lie flat.
