There does not seem to be much that covers this out there, on this site or elsewhere, does anyone know of video links showing this procedure? I have 5/8 inch particle board (a TV cabinet I I am repurposing into a gun cabinet), I need to join the bottom and top edgtes of the sides to the insdie faces of the top and bottom pieces. I have the Jessem jig, it is calibrated in 1/8 inch but with a shim I am able to get the holes on the edges pretty well centred but I am not seeing a way to line up those dowel holes with the ones I would need to drill on the face of the mating piece. I mean I would use the same (1/16 inch) shim to drill holes on the faces of the mating pieces so that they would be the same distance in from the ends, so that the sides would be flush with the ends of the top and bottom, but I am not seeing a good way to drill the holes in the face of the top and bottom pieces to perfectly line up with the holes I drilled in the edge of the top and bottom of the sides. The jig comes with indexing pins (one for each, 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch - I have both bits/drill guides), and the drill guides have like a slot protruding from the front of it, lined up with the centre hole, which fits perfectly over a dowel of the size that drill guide is. Porbably this has something do with what I am trying to accomplish it. The sides are 15 inches by about 50 inches, so I am thinking five 1/4 inch dowels. Any thoughts on how I could line the holes up? TIA</p>
