Carcase Dadoing Jig
Oct 25, 2005
The homemade dadoing jig illustrated in Christian Becksvoort’s article “Building a Chest of Drawers” (Fine Woodworking #68) is similar to the one I made several years ago. Mine differs in one respect that I think improves the jig. I purchased an Acme screw, which is often used in constructing book, cheese or juice presses and is available through many tool catalogs. I installed the screw as shown to make the positioning and clamping of the jig quick and accurate certainly better than using C-clamps.

Leigh Super 18 Jig
This jig is a value-oriented alternative to the Leigh D4R, but its template system is just as excellent.
Suizan Japanese Pull Saw
A versatile saw that can be used for anything from kumiko to dovetails. Mike Pekovich recommends them as a woodworker's first handsaw.
Jorgensen 6 inch Bar Clamp Set, 4 Pack
Small light-duty clamps are best bought in quantity. These clamps are a great balance of affordability and quality—so stock up!
