I have been doing a lot of trial and error getting the feel of the dovetail joint. I finally got up the nerve to try it on the body.
Simple jig clamped on the top, I checked the center of the top, not necessarily where the sides join. Used the square to determine the outside positions of the upper bout and used the caliper to adjust the jig till it was centered.
As I was cutting the joint I noticed the guide bushing move a little. Crappy router but the only one that I have a insert to use the guide bushings. A bit of a rough spot on the left hand side but otherwise worked out ok. Notice how wide the grain is, on the opposite end of the scale from another board I have.
About 22 grain lines per inch on the wide end to 34 on the left.Another Home Depot buy. It'll make some nice 00 sized tops one day. Oh yeah, got my computer to recognize my camera so picture quality is a little better.
