Very clever idea. I started Googling to find the cost of router jigs, and found a very interesting variation on the theme...

Why not get Steve Fredericks Shop Manual? He has a perfect solution for enlarging plywood sheets........

Happy 5th birthday thread. I had almost forgotten about it, and it is hard to believe it has been five years.

I agree totally with Andrew, a good scarf joint would be much stronger, but this joint is a lot simpler, and fast to make.

As to the router jigs, any cheapo dovetail template will work, and the old Harbor Freight dovetail jig I used can still pull double duty since the template comes off with two screws.

Just remember to not dryfit the joint or you will damage the ply fingers taking it apart.

Well it may be five years old but it's still new to me and it's a great idea :thumbsup:
