dovetail jig

I was recently watching the router workshop and saw bob using a jig to cut dovetails for a drawer.

I wonder if he made it or if it is available to buy somewhere? Looked like a slick way to make the joints.

thanks del, appreciate the input, i think making a dovetail on the router table makes so much more sense than the "fussy" jigs and using a hand held router
Just a Note Brad

I have wanted to get one also (like the one del has and OakPark / RWS) BUT the price has me in a hold patten, I know WoodStock Int.Inc. will come out with one that wil be 1/4 the price of the others, like they do with most of the tools they sale...just a hint :) it will not be to long, I think, because this type of jig has been out for about 5 years or so.

it is the easest one to use 1 set up and you cut both tail and pin you just turn the jig around on the router table i use 2 routers and 2 tables one for each bit you just switch tables to the other and i can cut both in the time you do with switching the board and setting it up of course with 1 table you switch bit's just depend's on how much you do some are better or easer to use lot's of ways to cut dovetail's del schisler
