Here you go Noel

Ozzie jig

That is good thinking.

I am building a jewelery cabinet and will use the barrel hinges.
The Ozzie jig should make it easier to get straight and square holes.

I bought the first jig then bought the new one for larger dowels. Hopefully I have a matching set of barrel hinges.

Thanks for the tip.

Noel, DJ has kindly given the address of the Ozzie Jig. What are your ideas?

Noel, I should have also mentioned that Des Fenelon, the inventor of the Ozzie Jig, often demonstrates at the annual Working with Wood Shows in the capital cities. His demo is worth watching. Maybe you can take a look to decide whether you want to invest in one.

Thanks chaps for the info I made a couple of jewelery box's for Xmas gifts and would like to make more and thought that the Ozzie jig could make the job that much easer. Thanks again
