This post is for a fellow LJ that was asking how I made the dovetail splines on my candle box:
Here are a few photos of the ridiculously simple jig I built to cut the splines. Even if I hadn’t used scraps, this jig could have been built for less than $5. I hope that others find this jig useful. If I were to use it on bigger projects, I’d need to build this out larger, but it worked great for a small item. REMEMBER TO KEEP FINGERS CLEAR OF THE CUTTING AREA!

also, if it looks a bit out of alignment, it is. I dropped it when trying to clean up. I only kept it because I wanted to have a picture of how i did it. now it will probably end up in the trash.
