We are working with the same K4 jig it looks like you guys have and the 1-3/8" setting (on the right side depth gauge) actually makes a slightly deeper pocket hole than the (on left side depth gauge) 1-1/4"-1-1/2" depth setting. Just worried that the deeper hole may allow the 2-1/2" screws to poke out of the benchtop boards.

(my dad still keeps that shelf on the wall no matter the tragic sacrifice those trees had to make to create that abomination of a wood project). Nevertheless, my wife now thinks I’m Bob Vila without the awesome beard…if only there were instructions here on how to remodel an outdated bathroom and kitchen with 2x4s and a Kreg jig. I can’t wait to get started on another project.

For the Kreg screws, what size box should I get of each? Looks like 2 1/2 comes in 250 count and 1 1/2 comes in either 100 count or 1,000 count.
