Boer War battle re-enactment at the English Heritage Festival of History, Kelmarsh (UK) July 2008. Filmed on request by a fellow re-enactor at no notice - I took part in the 'battle' - using a hand-held camcorder. Heavily edited to eliminate 'tennis match' swings, match the music and still fit within 10 minutes! This is my first attempt of this kind. I am a co-founder of the Heilbron Commando mentioned in the end credits. Enjoy!

The pocket hole jig is a familiar and popular tool to all woodworking enthusiasts.  It is a tool used for making pocket hole joints to join wood together.  The Kreg Tool Company of Huxley, Iowa revolutionized this indispensable tool with its introduction of the Kreg Pocket Hole Jig.  Here is the history behind The Kreg Jig Pocket Hole System, the company and its founder.

Out of pure necessity, Craig Sommerfeld a tool and die maker, created his first tool the "Craig's Jig" in 1986.  This was a single-hole pocket hole jig made from steel and aluminum.  Seeing the potential of his tool, Craig founded The Kreg Tool Company and revolutionized pocket hole joinery.  Today Kreg Tool is the leader in Pocket Hole Technology with its simple solutions and variations of the pocket hole jig.

In the 90's numerous new tool innovations and upgrades were made.  The Single-drill guide M1 Kreg Jig had been made available and the Two-drill guide M2 Kreg Jig was introduced.  Because of the demand the K2 Kreg Jig was also introduced.  The DK100 machine was developed for the custom cabinet and furniture shops and the portable Rocket Jig was patented. The Single drill guide Mini Kreg Jig, an entry level tool great for repairs and space constrained applications was brought out in 1998.

The 21st. Century brought automation and diversification to the Kreg product line.  The Kreg Jig K2000 ProPack, the second generation Kreg Jig, the Mini Kreg Jig and Rocket Jigs were launched. The DK1100 single-spindle machines and the DK3100 three spindle machine enter the market place. The 4 and 5 spindle DK4100 and DK5100 machines, designed to drill pocket holes in cabinet sides, stairs, and drawer box components, came out a year later. Product diversification was made with the addition of the Precision Miter Gauge, Precision Band Saw Fence, and Precision Trak and Stop Kit all designed to make cutting wood more accurate.

In 2005 the third generation jig or the Kreg K3 Jig and the Kreg Jig K3 master System was introduced. The tool contains the latest in Pocket Hole Technology including interchangeable drill guide design, front side clamping, Face Clamp, Portable Base, Drill Guide Spacer, Spacerdust collection, infinite upright adjustment, material support stop, and Instruction Manual

While pocket hole jigs have been used by the woodworking industry for many years, The Kreg Jig Pocket Hole System has simplified pocket joinery by its history of innovations and consistent improvements.

Knowing history of the sport you are interested in never hurts. If you are thinking about getting into tennis here are somethings that you maybe interested in knowing.

It's a sport that has been played for hundreds of years. It is thought that possibly European monks created the game. There were many different forms of racquets used and the ball also evolved with the racquet. The game was very well liked among the monasteries in Europe, but at one point the church thought about banning the game.

Major Walter C. Wingfield patented equipment and rules for a game very close to the game of tennis we play today. That same year tennis courts were made in the U.S. The year after that equipment could be found in many countries.

Because croquet was a popular game at that time, people took the croquet courts and set them up for tennis.

The first Wimbledon tournament was held in 1877. The court was a bit different from the court that is used today. The rules were basically the same as they are today though.

In the 1930's the game of tennis became rather chic. The outfits for tennis were a little different from what is commonly worn today. The outfits were longer and more constricting. Shorts were not worn in the game until 1933 by Bunny Austin.

Throughout the times there have been many champions in the game of tennis. The game became so popular that in 1986 the yellow ball was introduced for the first time to make the balls easier to see on television!

Thanks to the wide coverage that television and other media gives to the game, tennis is now one of the most popular sports. How does one define the game? It is a game played with racquets and a light ball between two players. The players stand on opposite sides of a net placed in the center on a rectangular court that may be made of grass, clay or asphalt. It can also be played between two teams of two players.

Racquetball, a variation of the game, is played in an indoor court with a specially marked floor and high walls off which the ball must be played.

Tennis has a long history, and according to records available, its establishment can be traced to two separate incidents. In 1859, Major Thomas Henry Gem, a solicitor, and his friend Batista Pereira, a Spanish merchant, were living in Birmingham, England, and played a game that they termed "pelota" after a Spanish ball game. It was played on a lawn. This later came to be known as tennis, and in 1874 they formed the Leamington Tennis Club, which laid out the rules of the game. It was on 23 July 1884 that the first tennis tournament was held on the grounds of Shrubland Hall.

Meanwhile, in December 1873, Major Walter Clopton Wingfield devised a similar game to entertain his guests at a party on his estate in Wales. It is believed that his version was adapted from an older sport of indoor tennis or royal tennis that had been invented in 12th century France.

The world tennis comes from the French word "tenez," an imperative form of the verb "tenir" which means "to hold." This, apparently, was a cry used by the player who was about to serve the ball. The players or the teams, depending on whether it is a "singles" or a "doubles" match, stand on opposite sides of the net.

One player is the server and the opposing player is the receiver. The server serves the ball, which is returned by the receiver. The ball has to go over the net into the service court opposite the server's. If the ball hits the net but lands in the service court, it is a void service. The server then gets a second chance. A proper service starts a rally in which the players alternate hitting the ball across the net. The first player or team that fails to return the ball loses the point.

The points in tennis are called love, 15, 30, 40, deuce and advantage. Love indicates zero. If a player wins a fourth point before his or her opponent has won three points, then that player wins the game. If both the players win three points (40-all), the score is "deuce." A player must win two points in a row to win the game. The first point won after a deuce is called advantage, but if that player loses the next point then the score returns to deuce.

The first player to win six games wins the set, but he has to be ahead by two games. If the score reaches 6 - 5, then the winning player must win the next game. If the score reaches six games all, it is called a tiebreak.

Some of great tennis players include John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Ivan Lendl, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf and Monica Seles.
