Dovetail Jig Workcenter

PC DT jig its self is beautiful & very useful – the additional workcenter make it more handy. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Nice job Geedubs, I too purchased the 4212 jig after watching the same podcast. Good job on the workcenter, maybe some day. Too many other priorities right now. Best part is the heighth, I have to slunch over when i use mine. Well worth the time and effort. Enjoy!!!

The web address has the last bracket included. I have a Leigh and will be looking at the workcentre seriously.
Thanks for the post.. the working height is important when you are over 6’ tall.

I have this same jig (yet to use) and have seen the plan. You did a great job on it, I can only hope mine turns out as well.. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job! I remember having seen this plan in the magazine, but using real wood makes it look “high class”. Congrats !

And hat’s off for having used dovetail joinery for the drawer. Another point here.

RKW - If you want or need to raise your dovetail jig to a more comfortable height, build yourself this Benchtop Router Horse. It’s easy to build, it raises the jig and/or any workpieces, and also provides the left vertical support to rout ends of narrow workpieces. Wide workpieces can be clamped to the front side to rout their edges too, needing to use another method than C-clamps to hold it down on the workbench.

Best,

Serge

All the bells and whistles and fine set up well done.

I just ordered the 4212 yesterday, let me know how you like it. It sure was a deal. Also has anyone used the bench cookies. They are a marvel. They are absolutely the best thing anyone has come out with in a long time. I got 2 sets just in case I mess one up. They really work great. You set anything on them and it won’t budge.

Mike, so far I like the 4212 but I am like the adventurer at the beginning of the trail…and looking forward to a rewarding journey. I am now looking for projects that will specifically let me hone my dovetail skills. Good luck with your 4212 projects!

Thanks Geedubs, I’m also looking forward to making things with mine. I bought a cheapee at HF for 50 bucks quite a while ago, never could make a decent set of dovetails on it. I tried and tried. Hoping this one is a no brainer, I guess that’s what I need. The ones you made on that box look pretty good to me. mike

I have that dovetail jig and love it. I have big plans on making that exact workstation for it, love the wood choice.

I think the 4212 is a good choice. I just need to keep using it. Practice, practice, practice.
