Does anyone have a SketchUp drawing of a portable dovetail workcenter that they wouldn’t mind sharing? I noticed that Shop Notes had one, but thought I would check the SketchUp “Club” first. Thanks!!

I don’t have a 3D one, but check out your local public library for router books. There are several that have some home made dovetail jigs in them that are very easy/cheap to make and well designed.
