    Magical dovetail markers

    I knocked these out today out of Lexan. Sort of fun. Sort of interesting. But definitely useful. They are 2 1/4" in the face, and 1 1/2" over the top. Ratios 5:1, 6:1, and 7:1 (I find 8:1 too flat). There is also a saddle square.







    If there is interest, I'll post a build.

    Nice items to make as Christmas presents

    Regards from Perth

    G’day Derek;
    I’d appreciate a look at your build. I’ve tried to do the Paul Sellers dovetail jig build and ended up with a lot of firewood oak, this might help because I could do it inside (winter here in Canada). Also interested in your adhesive.
    Young enough to remember doing it;
    Old enough to wish I could do it again.

    Yes Derek, please post a build! I've been wondering if I could make something like that and your tutorial would really help. Im also interested in how you glue the 2 parts together - I havent done that with Lexan.

    Thank you!
    Fred

    "if there's interest..."

    Rhetorical question, right???
