What are pin marks ?

Really amazing KZbin!!!! I played like 4 others. They were like, I don’t want to insult your intelligence by demonstrating this. Then they ended. I was like, Insult my intelligence? Insult me…..? PLEASE INSULT ME!!!! DO YOUR WORST!!!! 🤷‍♂️ I don’t know. Thanks for the KZbin!!!!

Thank you for your instruction 👍🏼… very informative & yju were the first instructional video available… I bought a jig almost like yours same brand , your details are on point 🤙🏼… good stuff

Great demonstration excellent!!

This is an amazing video. Thank you very much for making it and for all the great tips and advice. I bought the jig and used it yesterday and was really happy with how my first dovetail joints came out. Excellent work and teaching!👍👍

Wow what a great video. Have you thought about making anymore videos?

Several years ago I was gifted this dovetail jig (used but very good condition) but it did not include instructions.... admittedly, out of laziness, I have not gone online to find the instructions or a tutorial video. Today, I ran into your KZbin video and, thanks to you, am ready to dust off my dovetail jig and give it a go. THANK YOU so much!

A lot of talking

I was really digging your video. Actually helped me a bit till i found out that the jig i just got today from a pawn shop is the half blind dovetail/rabit sliding rabit template

Awesome video!!!! Had to comment twice because this is the perfect video. Thank you….

Great tips!! Thank you amazing video…

Excellent instruction ! Thank you for posting

Trying out my new used PCDTJ . Thanks

Love the video, best one I have seen for this jig. I bought mine second hand and does not have the bits with it. What bits should I buy to use with this jig? I tried a half in but it doesn't go deep enough for 3/4 in thickness of wood.

Dude. You have a major talent for teaching. This was right on point and kept my attention throughout. Everything was highly relevant and tightly focused. I now know how to use my jig because of your instruction. Very well done.

To much talk

Best teacher and video I’ve seen. I’ve watched many videos and this is point on. I’m not afraid to try this now!

You most likely weren't even born yet when I took wood shop in high school. I wish I'd had you as my teacher. I found my way to your channel to learn how to do this. After watching this video I'm confident I can! Thank you!

I have this same jig. Built a nice decided box keep all the parts in. I hardly ever use this jig because it takes so long to fool around with all the setup. I even dedicated 2 routers to this one jig. Unless I absolutely need dove tails, I find a simple box cutting jig works better. Joints are stronger than the wood. Plus 10 times faster to cut. Good video though. Thanks

Ok so just to be clear when cutting the tails you flip end over end. Your note says for tails only. So what about the pins? Rotate or flip? Thanks JJ

Liked this video. One thing missing is an explanation of how the jig tightens or loosens the joints. I never done dovetails and do not have a jig such as this. I assume the piece with the dovetails does not get any adjustment; it is what it is. The piece with the fingers is what get adjusted for a nice fit. Since the template for the fingers are angled, sliding the template back or forward will allow for slightly thinner or thicker fingers. Moving the template towards the rear will allow for more material to be taken off creating a thinner finger; this is done if the joint will not go together. Move it forward to make the finger thicker; this is done if the joint is loose.

One question, what is the diameter of template guide 42046? My jig came with a42047. I don't know if it is miss stamped the wrong guide.

Leigh has a router support/vacuum attachment now specially for the PC dovetail jig

So well explained, you must be a woodshop teacher! I wish I had your class in school. They teach girls nothing useful in school. This was excellent. Every aspect of the tool explained, and demo of dovetails was illuminating. 3:43 - I spotted a spelling mistake on the tool instructions. Look to the upper left. It should say OFFSET, not OFFEST. Tsk. Tsk. And below that, another spelling mistake. OUTSIDE, not OUTISDE. Porter Cable is hiring semi-literates. This was a beautiful demo. Such a joy. Especially as there was no obnoxious music during the video and my ears don't hurt. Thank you so much, Ryan! Your students are lucky people. Make sure that you have women/girls in your classes too. We need to learn these skills.

Thank you for your video. I just bought the jig and your step by step was a big help !

Ryan, I have the same router. What speed would you suggest for cutting generally and pine specifically? Many thanks.

Great video. I do wish you had also shown setting up the router. I’m having difficulty setting mine up so was a bit disappointed I couldn’t reference your method.

A bit complicated why don’t you make it simpler I am completely lost . I have all brand new Dewalt tools and the porter cable but I will have to practice a bit on small peace’s of wood till I get it right then build my drawers . Thank you for your time One question my height of the drawer opening is 4” can I cut the drawer to 3.5” and Lenght of the drawer is 22.5” can o cut Otto 21” and my Wedith is 18 so I have to cut it at 17” correct . It’s a pull out drawer under the counter top . Cheers

Would you recomend dovetailing 3/4" plywood?

good video.

Hi thanks very much your video was extremely informative clear and precise I can now do dovetails with some knowledge of what to do,cheers

This is very informative! You should have your apprentice help you make more videos!

Norm had a lot better version Porter cable hasn't made for years But he always made a shallow back cut to keep from having tearout.

Merci beaucoup très apprécié

Does the backer board have to be the same width as the dovetail board?

Hi, do you know if the jig will work on a compound corner, eg. A bee hive box

What a great way of showing how this jig works. Thanks for your clear explanation. I"m wandering, your video is 3 yours old now. Do you still using this porter cable template or have your switched so something else?

Very comprehensive, Ryan. Thank you.

Great video!

Any tips on how to avoid tear out? This is an issue from me, but I noticed you had the same problem. Thanks! Really good video.

Tanto hablar y hablar, para lo k tardo en hacer la muestra

Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

wow great video really nice explanation at least now i found out how to use that tool more or less 😆now the only thing missing are the tools & a lot of practice but i will be going back to this video for sure i had no clue on how to use or make dovetails best video so far👍👍👍👍👍👍

Ugh….you’re such a great teacher….you share so thoroughly….I’m so disappointed that you haven’t made any other videos….and hope you feel inspired to hit that record button again soon :)) Thanks so much!!

Great job. Keep in mind that during glue up to make sure the box is square during and while clamping !

Great video explanation. You still have tear out on you pin board

Being totally new to woodworking, thanks for your video. Your closeup of the instructions on the side of the jig helped explain things a lot. Namely that 2 router bits are used, and the pieces you cut explained the relationship of the cuts to the jig. Square profile of the jig -with dovetail bit going through creating a straight channel on the side of the drawer,the more angular shaped side of the jig recreating the matching dovetail by cutting it with a straight bit.Flipping the same side rather than rotating it made sense if you were not using the centre of the side to decide on the positioning to avoid /match errors.

you know that board you used to draw the line on the other board for the depth? You Could've just layed the router on top where the bit was on the edge of that scrap board and adjusted the depth that way lol. No need to do extra steps to make it look fancy when it gives you the same result.

Is there at chance to get jig of dove tail. Or if we make a jig what material we used to do it.

excellent video thanks
