Carbatec sells the jig for $87 now. It is a quality copy of the Dowl-It jig. There are knock offs of the knock off available for less on the usual sites but their fit and finish looks really rough in the best of cases. If you're getting the quality knock off, it is surprisingly not much cheaper than Carbatec on ebay or Aliexpress.
Edit: And of course, now that I've checked, you can get a version of the jig delivered by Amazon USA to your door, for ~$22 less than Carbatec.

Could the missing piece be epoxied back in? Or will it serve to weaken the surrounding fibres?
In the spirit of the Japanese philosophy of wabu sabi, a blemish in a piece revealing its perfect imperfection reveals its hand crafted origin.
Or just bite the nearest animal and make another lamination.

Yes, that piece looks big enough in the photo to glue back in place, even “super glue”??!!

Given the ‘TWANG’ when it departed the workpiece, I doubt that I could find it anyway?
NUP, there’s nothing for it but to make another. Thanks for the out clause Glider but the only piece of Japanese philosophy regularly practised in my shed is that IF you need a bigger hammer..... make it a wooden one!a rock is an obsolete tool ......... until you don’t have a hammer!

Many of my projects have been delayed whilst I work towards a place in Heaven through caring for the infirm (Mrs Fletty will kill me if she reads this!) but she is recovering SO well and SO fast that I doubt my efforts will be noticed by whoever hands out such accolades?
Anyway, one benefit of this delay is that impulse buys, which would have arrived too late if I was on schedule, now arrive at a time that I can claim is PLANNED?
My Haddon Jig arrived today......

I know it’s poor form to blame one’s tools but oh it is a JOY when you do use the right tools.....

Fletty & a Chainsaw . First of all comes the memory of a machine now in Pat's safe keeping which took skin.
Knowing Fletty all instructions will have been read to the fullest extent to which we now see a true westie emerg

I have started to do the final milling on the planks that will be a highly visible surface on one finished piece. I have done a few trials with finishes with no decision yet but, as there will eventually be 6 pieces in the suite, ease of application will be an important attribute. This sample patch has shown me the possibility of what can be achieved.....

... which is important given that the suite is to be a homage to the tree. The workflow on this sample has been;
- rip cut with chain saw and Haddon jig
- one face over jointer noting that even the first pass cut continuously!
- several passes through the thicknesser noting that all of the jointing and thicknessing only ‘consumed’ 3 mm of the thickness
- ROS 240, 320 and 400#
- dust removal with dust pad on ROS (thanks for talking me into it fencefurniture!)
- application (on this sample) of gloss WOP
While I’m making the furniture, my ‘agent’ at the school has found some paintings of the tree done about 30 years ago which will make a great addition to the reveal and setting !
Now all I have to do is finish it?a rock is an obsolete tool ......... until you don’t have a hammer!
