order to join the two pieces of wood using a
Dovetail-Joint. (FIG.17)

the Dovetail Jig along with 1/4 in. thick shim to
offset the board away from the rounded postion
of the template in the jig. (FIG. 18)
3. Align one edge of the board to be cut with the
outside edge of the jig. (FIG. 18)
4. Tighten the clamps securely and make all cuts.
5. Insert the second board into the jig along with the same shim and offset one edge of the
board 1/2 in. in from the outside edge of the jig. FIG. 19. This spacing will offset the
“TAILS” of the second board so that they align with the slots cut into the first board.
