<p>I'm new to Kreg, so bear with me please. I'm planning to start with a dollhouse for my children. It's designed 'playscale' (also known as 6:1 or Barbie size). As I don't have a lot of room or tools, I've tried to keep it simple. I plan to have the pieces cut at a lumberyard, as I don't have a table saw. Smaller cuts like cutting out the corners of the floors or putting in doors and windows I'll do myself, probably with a jigsaw. I've outlined my plan in the attached image, but it's all…</p>

<p>What I don't know is if I'll be able to join all the pieces I plan to with the Kreg K5 (I have the micro guide). There is a lot of joining of 5/8" pieces, some 1/2" to 5/8" and some 1/2" to 1/2".</p>
<p></p>
<p>When joining 1/2" to 5/8" (such as joining the floor to the sides, or the bastions to the roof) what is the correct setting and screw size? Can those connections even be done? What about the walls and floors (both 1/2" and connected perpendicularly), can those be connected with the K5, or do I need another joining method for those?</p>
<p></p>
<p>I would greatly appreciate any help. Besides the above questions if someone could take a look at the plan below and see if there are any other practical design mistakes, I would be grateful to have them pointed out. Thanks.</p>

Can I use my K4 for 1/2 in. plywood drawers? Not sure what the Kreg Micro is and if it is necessary to use on 1/2 in. stock.

I recently bought the micro jig for 1/2 inch material. I've never got it to work correctly and I've followed the directions to the letter. I've tried both 1 inch and 3/4 inch screws. My screws are not coming out in the center of the workpiece and usually they through my work piece.. I tried the Kreg tech support but was practically insulted and told my material wasn't 1/2 inch thick. Has anyone else had this issue? I have the regular size jig and have never had a problem but the micro jig…

I tried the Kreg tech support but was practically insulted and told my material wasn't 1/2 inch thick. Has anyone else had this issue? I have the regular size jig and have never had a problem but the micro jig has not really served me well. I look forward to solutions to my problem.
