Knock
[Is this what we're supposed to do? Just post anywhere, on one of our favorite KOW plans for the Kreg giveaway?]
I don’t have a favorite post to comment on–I have such a long list of projects that I want to do! I just got married in March, and I graduated from school last Friday, so now I need to move in a little bit, and then I’ll be able to furnish our little house, I hope. 
This will be one of my first projects, I think, a desk for our guest bedroom.
As for my favorite Kreg Jig project, there are so many neat ones! One of the projects I like is a toy box (http://kregjig.ning.com/photo/toybox2-1?context=latest). For a long time I’ve wanted to build a cedar chest, for no particular reason, and seeing that toy box kind of reminded me that I’ve ALWAYS wanted to build!
[I remember a couple years ago I started looking for a woodworking class through an adult ed program, just for fun. I ended up not doing one because I was working full time and going to school full time, and actually really didn't have time, PLUS I didn't have a car and buses were..interesting, so "bring your project!" wasn't going to work. Anyway, the Kreg Jig community site reminds me a lot of a site I found (and enjoyed!) back then--LumberJocks. I still receive their e-mails, and I visit the LJ site from time to time to see what people are up to. I'll have to spend more time looking at the Kreg site, and then hopefully (whether I win one or have to save up for one) I'll get one (!) and I'll be able to post pictures of my own projects.)
If I won the Kreg Jig, I would use it anywhere that would make sense! You posted the picture of Albert’s planter and I just started building a (very, very simple) planter a couple days ago! I would use the Kreg Jig to add some trim to it, and then I would use it to build the other ones. I think the Kreg Jig looks like the kind of thing I would start using and wonder how I ever did projects without it, because I think I would just use it all the time (as we fix up our old little house, and as I get started with our furniture).
Such a long comment, but I just felt like I had a lot to say. Thanks for everything!
