Dear my friends,

I am hoping you will show some pictures of your jigs to cut dovetail in body and neck. I am to be needing to make a jig. What are the size of you dovetails? What details should be I thinking about? What degrees taper do you router bit posses?

grazie,
Eugenio

stewart macdonald and others sell the templates with the appropriate bit and include a plan of their jig. i think the plan is also a freebie on their website.

the olf jig plan(see plans and jigs section above) is a more complex but more easily set up version.
