Corey,

That sure looks simple and easy!

Do you have link where you can see them, etc.?
How much are they?

edit:
Found the Home page in Australia!
Looks like it's pretty expensive... for me...
...but you get a lot of templates, I guess. $200 ??

Can they be purchased locally? Amazon didn't have them.
/edit

Thank you.

Hi Joe,it is very easy, no fussing and mussing really. It is however fairly expensive. It is made in Austrailia but can be bought from their US agent: The Japan Woodworker. Bob Noles just ordered from them and it is on back order. I bought mine direct from Roger and the shipping killed me! Here is the link to the Japan Woodworker Gifkin's page:

Corey

Some history on this jig. Roger was a well known box maker in Austrialia and around the world. He was commissioned to make 36 Medal cases for the Melbourne Olympics some years ago. They entailed a gazillion hand cut dovetails. When he was done he vowed never to make a hand cut dovetail again

So he developed this jig. There are others that are similar such as the Katie and the Keller. Don't know who's came first but Roger's is designed for box making primarily. In 1993 he decided to take it to shows in Au and from there on he has been making the jig and there are over 4 - 500,000 in shops around the world.

Nope... out of my price range... way too high... out of sight!

Joe,

At Japan Woodworker the model A-10 is $229 (US) with FREE shippng. I am having to wait until they get a new shipment in which should be with the next 3 weeks. It will be worth the wait and cost from everything I have learned.
