    Added tip :use blue tape for your pencil Mark ,that way you don't have to sand it l off and if your cabinets are finished you have a nice Mark and you didn't damage the cabinet by putting a pencil line on it just use some tape I recommend frog tape from Home Depot yellow is good because you could see the pencil line really well.

Kreg products are an upfront cost but save me so much time, money in wasted materials and FRUSTRATION. And the pride at showing off my “new” home.... not enough words to describe!

    I was installing new drawer pulls on finished drawers. Taping a small piece of paper or a post-it note to the front allowed me to make my mark for the Kreg jig without having to wipe off the alignment mark. Of course, that technique works in unfinished wood as well. The jig saves so much time. Love it.

    The Kreg jig for drawer pulls is pretty sweet. I used to make my own out of scrap wood, but then you end up with several laying around the shop. This saves me the trouble. Ditto for the European hinge jig...used to make these out of plexiglass, but that got a bit tedious and time consuming. These two Kreg jigs are my mainstays.

    I tore out all the cabinets from my kitchen and installed all brand new cabinets last year. The new cabinets didn't come with pre-drilled holes (for obvious reasons) so I had to drill them myself. The doors / drawer faces are beveled, so doing this by hand was a major pain! After one or two, I decided to buy the cabinet hardware jig to do all the rest. It is AMAZING. It not only cut the time down to drill all these holes, but gave me perfect alignment of the handles throughout the kitchen. I'll never install or even build another cabinet without this jig!!!

    Nicely done. Two points though, the exposed pocket hole on the backs of the doors looks bad, maybe fine for a shop. Also, when drilling the pull mounting holes with the jig, you didn't put a backing scrap to prevent tear out on the outgoing side of the drill inside the drawer.
