FAQ

There is nothing more frustrating than being halfway through a weekend project, staring at a joint that won’t line up, and realizing you have absolutely no idea what to do next. We’ve all been there. Your saw bogs down, your wood splits, or your tape measure somehow lies to you, and suddenly you’re ready to throw your tools across the garage.

Before you give up and walk away, pause for a second.

This page isn’t for business inquiries or corporate sponsorships. It’s a direct line to my workshop bench. If you are a beginner woodworker and you are genuinely stuck on a build, I want to help you cross the finish line.

You don’t need an expensive, high-end shop to get good advice here. Whether you are trying to figure out why your circular saw is burning the wood, how to get a perfectly straight cut with a jigsaw, or which budget drill kit to buy this weekend, just drop me a line.

How to get help:
Fill out the form below and tell me exactly what’s going wrong. If you can, take a quick, messy photo of the problem on your phone and describe what you’re trying to build.

No judgment, no gatekeeping, and no stupid questions. Just one maker helping another get back to making sawdust.

    Have you tried the Bora pocket hole jig vs the Kreg jig? I am contemplating which one to buy?

      I have the Bora Pro Compact Jig. I also have the Kreg 320 and the 720 Pro. The Bora is self adjusting and features color coded screws. The Kreg 320 is a small portable that requires manual adjustment. The Bora beats the Kreg with portable systems due to the self adjusting. The color coded screws are amazing and make grabbing the right screw easy.
      The Kreg 720Pro is a workbench mounted system that features automatic adjustment. I have not tried the Bora Automatic Jig which is similar to the Kreg 720Pro. The Kreg 720Pro is permanently mounted on my assembly table and gets daily use. It is my go to and works great. My only issue is I wish it had better alignment indicators. The jig features 3 guide holes but can be tricky to align the right one with the desired location. On mine I added lines with a Dremel and painted the lines black.
      Hope this helps! If I can pick up a Bora automatic jig, I will do a head to head using the four jigs.
