Engineering Background

Behind Jew It Yourself is Larry Kreger, an Industrial Engineer, MBA, and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt with 25 years of experience building, optimizing, and fixing systems across top-tier corporations, tech teams, and manufacturing floors.

On Jew It Yourself, Larry brings that exact same engineering precision, cost-containment discipline, and practical problem-solving straight into the workshop and home, showing you how to build smart, buy the right tools, and maximize every dollar without sacrificing quality.

From mastering global lean manufacturing methodologies at Honda in Japan to directing enterprise-level digital transformations and teaching Operations Management in Executive MBA programs, Larry has spent his career applying data, logic, and smart design to solve complex problems.

The Workshop Ethos

Building More Than Just Projects

What started as simple repair videos in a cramped garage quickly grew into a community dedicated to hands-on craftsmanship. Larry's straightforward approach demystifies complex projects, empowering viewers to tackle their own builds with confidence.

Today, Jew It Yourself is a hub for honest joinery, practical techniques, and straightforward tool recommendations. We believe in building things that last, using tools that earn their place on the pegboard.
