Hi guys, I need some advice/help here, I have just bought a dovetail jig
( I have never used one before) and I need to know: if you cut the left
hand side of a draw and the back piece on the left hand side of the jig,
do I have to cut the right hand side of the draw and the back using the
right hand side of the jig? the jig cuts both back and sides at the same
time. may be a stupid question to ask but nothing is mentioned in the
instruction book and I don't want to waste to much wood trying to get it
right!
Thanks
Eddie.

The important thing is that the two pieces are aligned to each other as
they should be. You don't need to switch sides of the jig.
