Hi, if you can't find 2 3/4" screws, 2 1/2" should do the trick. You just want to make sure you are getting into the "meat" of the boards. Good luck with the table! Can't wait to see your photos :) Ana

So I just bought a Kreg Jig yesterday, and my husband and I are going to try to build the larger Farmhouse Square Table.  In the plan, it calls for 2 1/2" screws, but the largest size of Kreg Jig screws we have been able to find is the 1 1/2".  Will those work?  We are building it out of Hemlock/Fir wood, and bought the course screws.  Does this sound OK?
