Okay,

I have made a major bet with Usahog. He has had a Dove Tail Jig sitting in the shop for several years and has never mastered it. He really just walks around it and never gives it a second thought. So, me having that stern, hardheaded background I have.....I blurted off with, "I bet I could learn how to use that and show you up, buddy." Yea, I know. It's the red headed thing.

Now, if anyone has mastered this or know of maybe some really good learning material, could you please help me out. Hog will never let me live this one down if I loose.

This pollock does not want to loose this bet.

Mrs. Usahog

I've never used one, but it looks damn easy when I see them use it on TV.

Clamp the board down and run the thing.

Find the instruciton booklet if you need.

Ever watch the Three Stooges? PUSH BUTTONS!!!

watch your fingers

No instructions with this stupid thing. It just came in a plain box and it had 3 greek sentences on top the box that I cannot make heads or tails out of. This was how to use it by the guy Hog bought it from at one of those wood working shows.

Yep, lots of scrap wood in the future. Wood burner will be red hot all winter..LOL

Mrs. Usahog

Mrs. Hog, possibly try taking the make and model number and Googling that along with the word "manual." Somtimes that'll hook you up with the missing manual. Has worked for me a few times. Sometimes the manufacturer will have old manuals, sometimes even offering them online for a fee, or even free.

DOH.. your Red is showing..

Thanks..........I wouldn't help me find it either!!!

My red?? Are you trying to say that I have blonde roots?? Yea, remember you don't have your cot yet for the wood shop. It might get awful cold on that concrete floor!!!

Well at least I got that much information out of him..LOL

Love Ya Hog!! I am going to win this bet if it kills me!!

Mrs. Hog

Wish I had a wife like that. Hog is a lucky man.

With that said.....

Go Mrs Hog, hope you win!!!!!!!!

LMAO

I dont know jack... good luck.

Hog, you might find this hard to believe, but I have a cot in my garage. I also have a spare... Let me know if you need me to send you one.

This is really interesting to me personally. Mary is both admittedly stubborn and extremely independent, but neither polish nor red headed. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...LOL

Hi Christine! Good luck Russ!

I would suggest a humidor project. But I only know a guy whos brother-in-laws' friend is really good with one.

Baron...That is what I am shooting for.

Hog and I have all these ideas in our head...but I want to make it reality.

Still trying to master the stupid thing.

Mrs. Hog

Um... sorry Mrs. Hog but I, as a man, am forbidden to help you since you are pitted against another man.

Any man whom consorts with the enemy during a time of war shall be punished as a court martial may direct.

I'm on Hog's side.

Macs,

Just remember Sir.........Because I will!!!!

LMAO!!

Mrs. Hog

Macs thanks for covering my back Bro!
