Not to be put off, I made a bar and bolted it to the table and tried to make a finger joint following the instructions in the booklet.
I soon realised why they are considered dangerous.
The work snatched and got pulled out of my hand and flew across the workshop.
That convinced me to make a jig that would fit in a T slot in a table so it couldnt be thrown back at me.
Since I never like wood being thrown at me could you add a few more details as to what you made and how it should have worked but didn't so I don't try something like that?
