Good afternoon all.
I am currently learning how to use the craftsman dovetail jig.

Not an easy task using the handbook provided by craftsman.
Videos would help if they are on the internet.

Most dovetail jigs are BASICALLY the same. You can find books and videos for them everywhere. Once you figure out the orientation of the face and side panels for the drawer, the rest is a piece of cake.

Not to say they are easy to make. Lots of trial and error will be required to figure out the best method, cutting speeds, bit selection, wood support to prevent tear out, measuring and centering techniques, and router manipulation.

Good luck and keep us posted on what you discover and learn.
