I'm building a desk and instead of traditional legs, I'm dovetailing side panels to the top (see my bad drawing). So, I decided to use a dovetail jig for the first, and hopefully only time. I just didn't trust myself to be able to pull off hand cutting DT's on the end of a 65" panel. Below is a picture of the setup I used. I tried to be as safe as possible, but using a router while standing on a chair is pretty dicey.
So, I have finally used a dovetail jig, but I did not like it! Hopefully I won't have use it very often.
