Hey Cory, thanks for this! Exactly what I needed. I had a wide panel I needed to cut tails on and there was no other good way to do it. I just added another piece to mine so the jig makes a 'U' shape to better hold the piece (I clamped it upright). Sure maybe a little dodgy but honestly no worse than using the router table, actually probably safer since you can't reach the bit with your hands.
I set my router fence up similar to yours. It's a whole lot more stable now, but I'm getting surface chipping. The wood is baltic birch. Can this be avoided somehoe? Its a new Freud bit
you could try scoring the cut with knife or blade before using the router. sometimes going backwards also helps to reduce chipout in specific circumstances. be very cautious when doing this though.
I have spent so long watching tons of videos that were either no help or super complex.. this is so simple I'm mad I didn't think of it myself 😅😂
exactly the solution I was looking for! THANK YOU!
Cutting the dovetails in the 4x4 posts I can do but was struggling with cutting the dovetails in the ends of the 2x4’s. Thanks very much.
Glad I could help!
I think this might just work, thanks man, wish me luck!
Good Luck!!'
Well done man, thanks for sharing! 👍
No problem 👍. Glad i could help

Glad you were able to make a solution. And yes agreed.
Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Very good video. No nonsense, got right to it.
Thanks. much appreciated!
Outstanding thank you
Thinking of using sliding dovetails to join horizontal 6’ - 2x4 bottom rails to vertical 4x4 posts. This might work!
Good Luck!
Nice solution esp for long pieces you can’t stand on your router table!
Yes, thanks!

@@huds-onwoodworkinginc.2019 I ended up doing a climb cut followed by a push cut. Worked perfectly!
thank you
You're welcome
