Fold-Down Dovetail Jig Station
This folding, wall-mounted dovetail station is simple to build, but it sure makes setup and storage easy.
The station consists of three basic plywood parts: a wall bracket, a folding support, and the jig platform. The platform is attached to the wall bracket with a hinge block and continuous hinge. The folding support is also attached to the bracket with a hinge. You will need to make the platform long enough to accommodate your dovetail jig and still leave room for the router. A small hole provides clearance for the bit when resting on the top. After securely mounting the wall bracket, you can attach the rest of the parts. Finally, you can mount your dovetail jig and get to work.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
