having been away a month earning a crust, I'm now back home and can get on with my competition piece.

This is how it was left a month ago.

I only had the two drawers to make and thought I'd dust off the leigh jig (not used it for about 5 years)
By the time I'd set this up and did a test peice, which wasn't to my liking i could have done them by hand.

So refreshing myself with the Bob Cosman DVD I started to tackle the dovetails.
Tails completed for one drawer

And now onto the pins.

Somewhere under the clamps are the two drawers.

This is one of the drawers put together, the DT didn't turn out too bad although I'm thankful for sawdust and clue.

Tomorrows plan is to sand and fit the false front on the drawers. At this rate I should meet the time deadline.
 
Looking really nice Waka and as you say, with a little practice a DT jig takes longer than hand-cut.
