Dentil Molding Jig

Nice Jig there Thomas. Newbies and oldies can learn a lot from these types of jigs. I know what dentil molding is, but never thought about making it myself, when “we” show others here how to make the jigs in a simple form, we all learn something.

Hi Tom;

Nice setup.

I have that same tendency to think of the nailer width, just a tad too late! LOL

That’s part of the excitement of woodworking. There’s always something new to screw up!

Yep. I’ve seen these used for box joints, but never thought of doing dentil molding. Thanks!

Great jig!

Lots of folks don’t know that proper dentil molding needs to turn the corner on a full block, and purchased stock rarely fits. Most times, you need to make it yourself.

Like Charlie, I have used tis type of jig often for box joints but Duh, never thought of applying the technique to dentil molding.

Great, I learned two things on your simple jig. Think of the corners, that’s big! And the nail gun head. Thanks!

Great idea Thomas and Barry thanks for the heads up.

This is like my finger box joint jig. I hope I can remember the excellent tips that came from this post when the time comes.

Nice one Tom. It’s the simple ones that work the best.

If you have to end at the corner with a complete box witch makes sense by the way. How do you deal with the inevitable uneven boxes in the sides where the runs from the corners meet?
