FYI, your front and sides are swapped. You want the pins on the front so the joint resists pulling apart when opening the drawer.

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!

FINALLY! a video that "actually" shows you how to use this Jig. This video just poped into my feed and I am so glad that it did. So many wood working videos gloss over details to feed the "algorhythm"

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.

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.

Thanks for sharing! Don’t quit your day job! That’s a joke…..you’re really good at teaching! Keep ‘em coming!

This is the single-most useful dovetail jig video online right now. THANK YOU!

This is by far the best instructional video on the Porter Cable Dovetail Jig I have seen. You are a fine teacher.

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!

Mr. Anderson, my last woodshop class was in junior high school in 1976. Now in my old age I'm coming back to woodworking. Your video really helped me figure out the Porter Cable jig. Thank you!

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 :))

I have been hand cutting dovetails for 40 years but arthritis is getting to me. A friend recently gave me the same jig so I can keep making boxes and drawers. Thanks for the video.

Ryan needs to make many more videos, and we can all make this channel rocks.

You have a talent for teaching. This is the best video on dovetails I have seen. Thanks for sharing!

I love the way you taught this. As a teacher myself (not tech ed) I appreciate your delivery method. Your students are lucky to have you as a teacher!!!

Ryan, you should have setup an Amazon affiliation so you get a small percentage when us folks buy this. You sold me man!

Thanks for the video, well done. Got my new porter cable jig today and plan on trying it out tomorrow. Like the way you measured router bit depth with the wood.

Excellent video showing the good, bad, and ugly. Excellent educational video. Thanks for sharing your extensive hard-earned knowledge.

Wonderful!!!! I purchased this jig a couple months back but just now starting to use it. Thank you

Looking at buying this thanks for the intro. Really helpful. Those brass adjustment rings are genius!
