Topic tags/keywords: drawer dovetail jig solid wood bottoms

I have a Porter Cable 4212 dovetail jig and have used it quite a bit for making drawers, however, in the past I have always used plywood drawer bottoms. I just cut a groove that can easily be conceeled in the drawer itself.

My current project is going to be using solid wood drawer bottoms and as I know what I want it to look like given a less wide back with less pins/tails on the back joints so the drawer bottom can extend past. Now my question is does anybody have any experience using the 4212 to do this? I can fumble around with it and practice and figure it out, but thought I would post to all you that may have been there done that before.

thanks in advance,
Jeremy
