Thanks, Leon. I am just starting assembly now. 6" ought to be OK. If
not, I'll pull out the Praxi.

Yup ... should have it tomorrow. I thought I shopped it pretty
thoroughly. No?

Size might be an issue. If you use variable spacing tails and pins you
are going to be limited to a 6" long joint if you want both sides of a
drawer/whatever to look the same. Basically you use both sides of the
jig. If you use symmetrical spacing this will not be an issue.

Set up complete, but missing the 8mm collet reducer. Nutz. Hoping
local Woodcraft or Rockler has one, otherwise will need to wait for
Leigh to open on Monday.

Bought a nice piece of zebrawood for a little box project to break it in.
