Not for me Morris. Not by a long shot. I like your stuff as a rule
and value your contributions here and elsewhere. But I could not make
heads nor tails (no pun intended) out of those "drawings."

Lemme know when you do do the web page you do do so well.
Ok - there's a (rough draft) web page at

http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/Projects/LapJointJig/

I can't help feeling that people are looking (insisting?) on a lot
more complexity than there really is.

The whole point of the jig is spelled out in the paragraph just above
Fig. 7 - but please start at the top and work your way down to that
point.

If anyone gets lost, please let me know _where_ the page stopped
making sense.


Now it makes sense. It is indeed simplicity itself!


I just _knew_ that if I made the pictures bigger it'd be easier to
understand! ;-)


Well, maybe to Gnu Yawkuhs...
