Thanks for the replies. I think I will spend some time looking at vertically positioning the pocket holes on the back apron differently than they are positioned on the side aprons. Since the front contains a drawer there are two 1" rails instead of aprons where currently I am thinking tenon joinery. If you have the Anthony Guidice book "Tables" [purchased at Rockler , isbn1-56158-342-1]. I am working with his cover design project which is detailed on page 33. Of course there will be differences…

Hi Dick,<br />
I am on my second furniture project as well as my second using the Kreg jig, I admit being a novice. I did not pre-plan the locations of the pocket holes on the first project, as a result I had screw interference, first where the aprons attached to the leg, second where the top attached to the aprons, both situations required relocating some pocket holes. In addition I had routed slots in the legs for the 1/4" plywood side panels, in this case I had to use 1-1/2" screws to get past the…
Hi Dick,<br />
I am on my second furniture project as well as my second using the Kreg jig, I admit being a novice.

In addition I had routed slots in the legs for the 1/4" plywood side panels, in this case I had to use 1-1/2" screws to get past the slot, next time I will not route the slot where the aprons attach.<br />
In my case I learned the importance of pre-planning the pocket holes the hard way. I'm not an expert by far but…tag:kregjig.ning.com,2010-02-21:2900167:Comment:213162010-02-21T04:24:31.827ZDavid Robertshttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/DavidRoberts
I'm not an expert by far but I'd probably try to use 3 or maybe 4 shorter screws to join to the square leg. You can always use a piece of scrap to see how far the different screw lengths penetrate into the legs. Good luck
