Which Way Round Should the Board Go?
As virtually all dovetail joinery is used to make boxes,
drawers and chests etc., we devised these simple (and
hopefully intuitive) icons to indicate which side of a
board faces inwards or outwards on the finished “box”,
and which side of the board faces outward (toward
you, the operator), when it is clamped in the jig.
The following symbols indicate:
e
This edge against sidestop
f
This edge against sidestop
Sawcut allowance
Caution: use special care for this
operation

Numbered References in text
This icon o indicates the
“outside” of a board. All
through dovetail pin boards
are mounted in the jig with
this “outside” face away
from the jig (toward you, the
operator).
This icon
i
indicates the
“inside” of a board. All half-
blind pin and half-blind tail
boards, and through dovetail
tail boards, are mounted in the
jig with the “inside” face away
from the jig toward you, the
operator.
This icon j indicates boards
that are mounted both ways
e.g. sliding dovetails and end-
on-end dovetails.
Dotted line icons
indicate
the “other” side of the board
in the illustrations.
