This is a super great jig Tim .Do you know were that article came from?

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Looks like a good idea to me. Nice job, thanks.

Yea, I’d like to see the article too. Very simple indeed.

Looks like it—and you—do nice work. Any chance you could put together a blog on how to use it?

I will look for the article or if I can’t find it, post some instruction. Headin out the door on vacation for a week so it bare with me.

That is a nice jig, Tim. I am sure a lot of us would like to put one of these in our shop.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Thanks Tim. I think this is one of the smartest jigs I have ever seen.

Nice! This is my next jig. I laid out 1:6 hand cut dovetails for my incense burner. Would I be able to assume that I could lay out that trapezoid with 1:6 sides, perpendicular to the table saw? How come the vertical boards don’t have any cuts in them? Am I missing something, or had you not used the new jig yet when you took the photos?

Cool. I would also like to see the reference posted. I just can’t “wing it” on these jigs…

Yeah, me too… I’d like to do one of these… but I’m not quite getting it. I like the concept… but I need to see or read a little more. Those sample or practice pieces look quite nice.

I’ve been digging around trying yo find the magazine article
If you have them you might look at Fine woodworking issue # 120 page 54
or
Shop notes issue # 108 page 41
let me know if you think if these are the same. or if the work the same.

I have not found where I learned about this jig but I wrote up some instruction to use this jig here:

Nice looking jig I’ll give it a try Thanks…

-- David '65

Thanks for the instructions

The one from Fine Woodworking (Jeff Miller) was easy to build. I just cut a bunch of dovetails (pins) with the sled, and then marked the tails and cut with a bandsaw. Virtually no trimming to get a perfect fit.

Same jig for a router table.

Thanks Fred that’s cool

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Thanks Fred. That video is a good one to watch, the only difference is I flip the jig to make the second set of cuts and in the video he just works from the other side of the router table.

-- Tim: Remember, if it doesn't say Binford, someone else made it.

That video is just what I was looking for… didn’t come across it in my search. Thanks Fred and thanks Tim for your gig that got me to this point… a big help.

Nice jig and great job Tim. Thanks for the trouble of sharing all detailled informations. This is guy like you that makes this site so informative and addictive.

Best,
