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 would love to build this double-sided desk I saw once. I might be getting ahead of myself though; it seems I should probably start out with something a little less complicated.

    I’m in the middle of creating a wooden planter box for my impending vegetable garden, but half-way through I realized that THIS IS REALLY HARD!!!!!!!! But as soon as I do get the right tools and the right drill bits and the right help from the BF and truly tackle this job I’ll know I can do anything!!

    I’M GETTIN’ JIGGY

    I’ve always wanted to build a cedar-lined blanket chest with cherry rails and stiles and curly maple raised panels. I never started it because I thought that the joinery would be too difficult to get right (dowels, mortise and tenon). After watching a video on using the Kreg Jigs, I think I’ve discovered a way to build it that is at my level.

    I’M GETTIN’ JIGGY!

    We inherited a wonderful art deco bedroom set from my husband’s parents, and (unlike the rest of the set) the bed frame is too worn to withstand daily use anymore – and it’s a small ‘full size’ anyway! I’d love to tackle making a new bed frame that is simple and classic and still ‘does justice’ to the rest of the set too.
