I guess I'd be willing to try it. Looking at the price, it is about the same or even a little less than a good Bisket Joiner. I never have good luck with Bisket Joiners anyway.

I've seen that before. I forget where. It's not very impressive.

This product or something just like it was on This Old House. They used it to join mouldings (IIRC).

Looks like it would be a good alternative to bisquets. The bowties are plastic (once again, IIRC :) ). They should not have the 'telegraph thru' problem of bisquets. Can only be used where one side is hidden since they are not buried in the joint like bisquets.

Looks like a Hoffman knockoff system.
Hoffman's [usa] been around for several years.
I think its a good system, though I don't have one. Wish I did.
Do a gogle search on Hoffman dovetail

One of my favorate movies... while a young Dustin Hofmann is chasing after middle aged and married ladies, someone is convincing him that the future is in plastic. Remember?
