3 stars for Promo-grade 
2008-10-01
Don't pay anything for this...Kreg should give it away to anyone wanting it. And they do in some kit-buys. It is a good promotional DVD. Go to the Kreg site for essentially the same thing free! Plus a lot more. I did not buy my copy.
Pretty good video; frustrating DVD 2008-09-21
This video is pretty well done, and I would have given it 4 stars. However, the DVD will not let you resume play where you stopped, and it forces you to sit through a boring and lengthy introduction every time you go back to watch another chapter. Terrible DVD production.
A bit shy on technical content 2008-03-07
I was disappointed in this DVD. It seems like the camera operator was more intrigued with the instructor's face rather than the work at hand. The pan to the workpiece was slow and off cue a lot. We saw a lot more of the instructor than his work, thereby missing some valuable visuals. The angle of the camera shots was often on the blind side of the workpiece, or ended up with the instructor's body in the way. I'd hesitate to purchase any of the other DVD's in this series, accordingly.
Good information for Trim Carpenters

This DVD provides valuable information for Trim Carpenters who want to improve their skills and abilities and maybe gain an advantage on the competition. Well presented and easy to watch.
Save your money for a Kreg accessory

Well, if you're an experienced builder/contractor like the gentleman hosting the video, and want to learn how pocket holes are used to build newell posts, wainscoting, and door jam extensions, then the TRIM CARPENTRY DVD my appeal to you.
But if you're a hobbyist like me who just wants to build the occasional bookcase, small table, cabinet, etc., then you will be disappointed in this DVD. If I had to opportunity to preview it before the purchase, I would not have bought it.
This is NOT a traditional HOW-TO DVD on using the Kreg jig to build a (fill in the blank) featuring a materials list, dimensions, and tools needed. What it shows you is how pocket holes are used in the building of a window seat and wainscoting, for example. And while interesting to watch, it doesn't make you want to run to your garage or shop and begin building a newell post or door jam extension (actual projects in the DVD), of all things! Again, the DVD is not a how-to, and the "projects", in my opinion, are not practical or inspiring.
There are folks who'll say it's worth the $10, but this DVD should come free with the K3MS (the system I bought). Keep the $10 and put it toward a Kreg drill bit, driver, clamp, or even better "The Pocket Hole Drilling Jig Project Book" by Danny Proulx. Excellent book!
Finally, this review is NOT a knock against Kreg in any way. Their pocket hole jigs and accessories are top shelf. It's just this particular DVD was a let down.
End of discussion! Be well!
Good companion to any Kreg kits

Kreg Trim Carpentry DVD 2007-04-30
I was considering purchasing the Kreg Master jig kit which sells for about $150. Purchasing this DVD for about $10 seemed like a good investment to try and determine how and if this investment made sense for me. I thought the DVD was well worth the $10. Several ways to use pocket holes were described, plus, I thought the DVD provided a number of other good woodworking tips, especially for projects or aspects of projects currently under way or planned. The DVD is professionally done and easy to watch. That is, I thought the DVD provided the right amount of detail without boring you by showing every single hole that was drilled. I also convinced myself that other Kreg tools, like their clamps, would be a good investment to save time and ensure consistency. I have been using biscuits for some time and avoided pocket holes simply because they seemed too much of a mystery which is not the case. Kreg perhaps should provide this video free on their site as an incentive to buy, but since they don't, $10 is an okay price, especially when I get free shipping from Amazon.
Good Video 2007-03-09
Good video. It opened my eyes to the use of pocket hole joinery in carpentry. A real time saver.
Shame on you Kreg 
2007-02-11
I own the Kreg pocket hole system and love it. I wanted something to show more uses and designs so I purchased this and the cabinet DVD. There is nothing on her that is not in the regular instruction manual. A total waste of my time and money. Shame on you Kreg for having such a great product and producing such a worthless help aid.
