That's great? Let us know how you like them. Some feedback is great. Thank you for your purchase

[@stormbytes]

How much are they? Do you get both 1/2 & 1/4" ?

[@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679]

@Daniel Balfour Yes you get both the 1/2 and 1/4 inch templates. You will have to use the email address provided in the video to order and you can ask Chad the cost through that email address.

[@victorkaiser5352]

Just bought Chad jigs can't wait to use it.

[@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679]

That's great! Glad you got one. Let's us know how it works for you.

[@victorkaiser5352]

Will do

[@victorkaiser5352]

Can you do a video on half blind dovetail using the jig also in 1/4

[@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679]

@Victor Kaiser I will try to do one with a step by step with the 1/2 template as soon as I can get time to. May take a while. I have a lot going on right now. I don't think I can do one with the 1/4 though. There is only a halfblind template for the 1/2 bits

I have the jig that Chad makes and it works as designed on odd numbered pins , 3,5,7 etc as that leave an opening in the center of the board. Even numbered don’t have that open area to place the jig ? Did I miss something?? I don’t see how it would work on even numbered spaces ?

[@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679]

@MikeyDonna i don't understand what exactly you have going on. Are you using Chad's jig on the "tail" side of the Porter cable template? Unless your porter cable template is bent, it should fit snuggly in any slot. If it is fitting right in some spaces and not others, you have tines bent on your template. 1. Make sure you are placing Chad's jig in the dovetail side of your PC template. 2. Check the gap between the tines of the tails template. There should be a 3/4 inch gap between all. Also check out the latest video on my channel as a step by step for using Chad's jig

Tracy, I know from you’re accent you’ll understand this expression, “I have to eat crow”, and what makes it twice as bad it was served up by my wife. She suggested I get the manual and read it while I tried to use the centering jig I bought , my problem was not starting with the right pin of the templet. She pointed out that my starting place was wrong. Anyway I’m on the right track thanks to (uh hummm) her , Mike

[@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679]

@MikeyDonna lol. I hear ya. Glad you got it figured out. I've have yo eat some crow too. Seems the older I get, the more I do.
