Ray, are you asking about how to pin the corners at an angle with a dovetail shaped insert or to make dovetails for the corners?

HI Mike
That's a neat way to make a key hole jig
, the only thing I disagree with is the free hand way to cut the dovetails,,a simple sled with a 1" wide slot, so it can run on a brass guide to keep it running true all the way, a 1/4" thick MDF board would do the trick I think...
PLus a easy and quick way to make the keys, with a butterfly bit,,,,just pop the bit in the table run it by the bit and then rip it down the center to make a pair of them,, it's best to make the keys 1st then you can drop the dovetail bit down just a little bit so you have a nice tight fit..
