Leigh Dovetail Jig


The Leigh dovetail jig is almost legendary in woodworking circles. Norm has been using it since Season 3, and although he has used the Omnijig occasionally, and tried a couple of clamp-on types, the Leigh just keeps showing up.

Norm has updated the jig. I'm not sure whether it's completely new or just has the updates—Leigh makes it easy to do that. In any event, the jig started out with knobs for the clamps, now it has the lever cam locks. The transition was made for Season 8
