Q&A
- I ordered the Foundations of Building Series and it told me at checkout that later on I'd get an email with instructions to access the course, but I never received the email. How do I access it?
- I would check your junk mail as that one likes to get filtered there. If you do not see it, please email our Tech Support at technicalsupport@kregtool.com.
- I am a beginner. Will I need a table saw to complete these projects? How many of the Kreg jigs will I need. What are the required tools to successfully complete these projects? I have a circular saw, miter saw, jig saw, but no band saw or table saw. I have the 720Pro pocket hole jig and several other small Kreg products.
- No, a table saw is not needed.
- Will they be planning more builds over time or am I paying for 6 plans for life
- At this time, these are the only plans in the course.
- How long (modules or hours) is the course?
- For the 6 projects, there is roughly 1 hr 45mins in videos.
- Is this available on DVD? Would there be any duty and custom fees on DVD's
- There is not a DVD option. These will only be on the computer.
- Once purchased will I always have access to the training videos?
- You will always have access.
- Does this fee only pay for these projects or does include a membership with more projects to follow?
- You will have access to the 6 plans and the step-by-step videos for each of those plans.
- Do we get lifetime access to the course or does it expire after a period?
- You will have lifetime access once paid.
- I am building a set of drawers for a work bench. I am using 1/2" plywood on the sides and 3/4" plywood on the ends. My question is, what size screws do I use for the pocket holes. Thank You,
- When working with two different thicknesses of lumber, you will use the smaller thickness settings and screw size. So in your case, you will be using the 1/2" settings and 1" screw.
- Is this a one time fee or does it expire
- It is a one time fee.
