This might work. Allows for different widts/# of dovetails

The stotts jig is the jig which comes with a shrinkwrap license.
You don't own it, you cannot loan it, you cannot let your buddy use
a template you make from it.

Therefore I won't be a buyer/licensee


There is nothing to that effect on the Rockler website. Therefore,
if I were to buy that stuff, I am not subscribing to to any
restrictions. I buy it, I own it, and that's that.


The EULA is not on any website you buy your software from, nor is it
printed on the outside of the box. Try to get your money back after
you open the software box. To my knowledge EULA has not been
challened in court yet.

Any company which dis-respects their customers with a tool as Stotts
does, does not deserve my business.

I've read a bit of the website shrinkware announcement. As I understand
it, Stottswhatever his name is doesn't want you to go in business with
*his* system and start making jigs with it for everyone you know, or loan
it to all your "friends" so they can do it themselves. I think that is a
somewhat reasonable request. However, if I can freely share my router or
drill to my friends, I think I should be able to do a similar thing with
some other "tool" that I have bought. Therefore, I do not feel encumbered
by his request (unfortunately I do not (yet) know many people who could
conceivably be interested in it).
