<p>Can anyone suggest a UK stockist of Kreg Deck Screws? (with stock!)</p>
<p>I purchased the Deck Jig and 200x additional screws, but my local stockist (Atlantic Timber, Altrincham) have no more in stock and cannot get any for a further 6-8 weeks!</p>
<p>I've tried a couple of other places and they have none either.</p>

<p>Any help appreciated as I can't wait 8 weeks to finish the deck, the wife will kill me!</p>

I just finished my first Kreg jig project. I am an American living in Sarajevo, Bosnia, and there is no access to kreg products here. My wife shipped the jig and some clamps through an embassy connection as a fathers day present.<br />
<br />
So, I only had the kreg screws that came with the jig, and needless to say, I ran out before i finished my project. So I experimented, and found that regular Roundhead wood screws seem to work well for kreg pocket holes.<br />

I just finished my first Kreg jig project. I am an American living in Sarajevo, Bosnia, and there is no access to kreg products here. My wife shipped the jig and some clamps through an embassy connection as a fathers day present.<br />

So, I only had the kreg screws that came with the jig, and needless to say, I ran out before i finished my project. So I experimented, and found that regular Roundhead wood screws seem to work well for kreg pocket holes.<br />
<br />
I found that I absolutely must use clamps, of course, and after the initial moment when the screw enters the wood, it draws both pieces together nicely. I was using mostly 1 1/4 inch kreg screws, and When I ran out I switched to using 4 x 25 cm wood screws. I am constantly afraid that the screws will be too long, so I got 25cm and 30cm screws, and when the 25cm screws seemed to work, I continued with them.<br />
<br />
The main characteristic I was looking for was the flat bottom to the head of the screw, which the Roundhead screws have. The threads do go all the way up the shaft, but it doesn't seem to force the two pieces of wood apart, like I thought it would.

<p>I am attaching skirts to table legs, and the skirts are one inch thick pine. I know I am supposed to use the coarse thread, but what is the best size screw to use? I read the guide, but I want to make sure I use the right screw, so I do not mess up the table legs.</p>

<p>Please advise and thanks!</p>
