DIY Leigh type dovetail jig

[Radek Kowalski]

Hey everyone,
In the past 2 weeks I visited and read MANY of the pages of the first couple sites that popped up on google when you search "woodworking forum". Over that time I saw a dovetail jig. It was a DIY for sure.

Wooden adjustable templetes for the tails and pins running on some T track and such. If ANYONE knows what I am talking about can you please post the link? I am dieing to find it, checked several sites and am having problems doing so. Thanks for your time.

I figured I would spend some time and look thru my history. IT WORKED!!!

Has anyone made one? Can half blind and regular dovetails be done? I like the idea alot and it looks like a cool jig. Thanks.

I think it was Shopnotes magazine (Or it's sister mag Woodsmith), that ran a story on making your own.

You can get the Stots Dovetail Master and make your own out of MDF. Works just fine.

I made this simple jig and then a 22" wide one for blanket chests. Woodcraft, Rockler and others have it.
