| Jigs and Fixtures This area will be directed towards the art of designing specific jigs and fixtures. Bob and Rick say, "if the specific operation is to make more than one piece the same size and shape then chances are you need a jig and/or fixtures." |

MLCS Instructions: You can cut joints longer than the templates by simply shifting them along the boards. With practice, you can also vary the dovetail spacing with the same technique. Copyright 2006 MLCS ltd. Page 21 I think I would insert router bit into overlapped cut before clamping for the next segment's cut.  Wouldn't that do it? | |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | HI Joe The key word is with "practice" once you unclamp it you have lost the indexing point,you can move it down and use clamp block for the index bt it's tricky to get it back in place for the 2nd group of pins/dovetail slots...and he it using 36" wide.. I have tried it with 20" wide 36" long boards and made some real nice looking firewood with dovetails...  He may want to just use the Oak-Park 1/2" box joint jigs, that can be used to make the 36" wide joints. Bob and Rick had a show air this week (on the PBS) they made a table that was about 24" wide that used the box joints and it looked great and was a easy one to do with the Oak-Park Box jig setup. 1402–1403. Dining Room Server http://www.routerworkshop.com/s1400.html *************** *************** Hey Joe Try it on your jig from MLCS and let me know how it works out for you Take a snap shot or two so he can see how you did it : : : Bj

Yes, those Boxjoints would be a lot easier to make... FOR SURE... especially, using the Oak Park 1/2" spacer fence!! Quote:
Someday, I may try it out... just for kicks... I really think I could do it. Right now, I have to get my leg healed... rest of the shop cleaned up & reorganized, etc. I want to make the Tool Tote that Roy Underhill has in one of his books for my newest grandson's 1st birthday coming in June... would like to use white oak... also planning to have a nameplate carved by the carveright machine. | ||

| Registered User Dedicated Member  | You might try using a stots dovetail template master. You can make your own templates, and make them as wide as you need. It's about $40. It is a little bit more work making your own templates, but if you're a little bit careful, they do make good quality joints. Look at them at http://www.stots.com/ |

I've got the stots template master, and the thing works great. Keep an eye out for them at woodworking shows, you can sometimes get a great deal on them!
