Have a wedding present to build and I am using a plan I found in issue 32 of
Woodsmith. Problem is I have never done dovetails and this one calls for
various sized dovetails to be cut. I have researched the jigs and seen the
Leigh and Akeda jigs which would do the job but trying to save some cash and
would prefer a used one or borrow or rent one! Being in So. Cal there is not
a whole lot of local shopping to do and none of my few ww buddies have
anything more than a fixed jig the same as I do. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Just posted and saw this. Anything wrong with making all the
dovetails the same size? Hell, make box joints, if you want to.
E-mail you? LMAO Yeah, right. If it's worth posting here, it's
worth coming back and checking for responses. And, for the Gods' sakes,
give it a couple of days, and check first, before you post and say this
post never showed up.

Do you have a bandsaw. There's a jib in Duginske's book.
It's a little trick to master, but I'm trying it out.
Or you can cut by hand...

Thanks for the suggestion Bruce. But no worries I found a Leigh Jig on eBay
for $104.00 and That will work for me. As for JOAT thanks for the
reaffirmation of the fact that there are a lot of jerks on this board. I
have not been building anything for a couple years and have not been to the
group in a while either. Now I remember why!

I an unable to satisfactorily and adequately express my grief for
the distress you have suffered because of my attempt to assist you. I
had no indication you are so delicate, and considered plans sacrosanct.
I had thought that possibly you would be more comfortable by the
prospect of making the dovetails all the same size, and thus be relieved
of the stress, and aggrevation, of making multiple sized dovetails.
But, alas, I was wrong. Same with the suggestion that you could use box
joints instead of dovetails. But, again, alas. I erred again.
I do agree with you about jerks. They do come here. Indeed. How
fortunate for you that I did not choose to be a jerk, and post something
along the lines of, "Hey dummy, why don't you just make some dovetail
jigs of different sizes?". But, that wouldn't have been right, so I
posted what I thought was a polite response, that would provide you with
some opthins you may not have thought of. I shall try to remember in
the future that you do not respond well to suggestions of that nature.
Yes, not that I reflect on it, the few jerks here were very
influential in my decision to distance myself from the group for a
while. Apparently I should have made it a longer distance.
Have a nice life.

Yes, it's my truck. No, I won''t help you move.
