SETUP WITH THE TEMPLATE MOUNTED TO A CLAMPING BOARD
Step 1 -
Step 2 -
Step 3 -
Make an angled clamping board according to the drawing (Fig. 52B). Match the angle of the clamping board to the joint angle.
If necessary, create flat places on the clamping board parallel with the opposite side so that the clamps can grab.
Attach the template to the clamping board with #10 wood screws. Position the angled surface on the side of the template with the straight fingers (Fig. 52A).

Cut the end of the tail board according to the instructions in the drawing (Fig. 53A). You can make these cuts on a table saw with the blade beveled (Fig. 53B). Set the miter gauge at 90° for the first cut, then use a tenoning jig for the second cut (Fig. 53C).
If you use the template mounted to the base of the jig, mount the board with the outside face toward the base of the jig. Center the edges of the board between two fingers (Fig. 53D).
If you use the
Align the template using the “tails” line.
If the angle is steep, the “tails” line may not align with the wood. The joint will be fine if you place the straight portion of the template fingers directly over the tail board (A) Fig. 53E. Otherwise, you may have to use an angled clamping board.
Set the router bit depth where the sides of the board are at a slight angle (Fig. 53F). Cut the tails and remove the tail board.
