<p>Perhaps this question has already been asked somewhere on this forum but I wasnt able to find it after an hour or so of searching. Is there a recommended length of Kreg screw to use when combining a 1x6 into a 4x4 post. I have seen a few conversion charts and what not on the page but nothing goes up to a 4x4 post. </p>

<p>Most of the guides I've seen for determining the setup for your Kreg jig show equal material. I am building a kids picnic table and want to use my kreg to attach the 5/4 top boards to 2x4 material. When setting up my jig do I use the depth of the 5/4 board or the 2x4? And what size screw would I use? I don't want the tips poking out of my top. </p>

Plus I will be building a shelf that will sit on the bottom shelf of this work bench to hold the fingers for the machine. They are quite heavy themselves. Right now my plan is to use pocket hole joinery. I am curious if this will be sufficient. Below you will see a sketchup drawing of the bench. I'm using 2x4 lumber for the rails and 4x4 for the legs. There will be 2x4 bracing under the bottom shelf and the top of the bench. The top and the shelf will be out of 3/4" birch ply. My intention is to use 2 1/4 pocket hold screws</p>

<p>I'm also wondering if I could use pocket holes from underneath to secure the shelf and the top? That way I would have no screws showing. Would this work?
