I'm sorry I hijacked the other thread on this but for the sake of continuity here's mine. It looks like it's smoking a cigar but this was my work around for making it adjustable and inexpensive. It's actually a barrel bolt with steel spacers to extend the width of the guide:



It still needs some tweaking. I used a cheap 1/4" downcut bit and it wasn't a smooth operation but I'm pleased with the results:





This was just the pass for the wood binding, and not doing the end graft before closing the box complicated things. Not doing a wedge style was problematic and I had issues with aligning the centerlines. I have it all figured out now but I have to get creative with how to clamp it in place.
