Mamimili,
Got the jig from Home Depot. There may be jigs that could be cheaper but It was the lowest price I could find. One router bit was included in the kit.

congratulations on your plinth and the great work sir... not only are they pretty, the joints are designed to last longer that us...
It's my first time to do a dovetail joint. A second pass is actually encouraged to smoothen the edges. It became half blind because it was the only bit included in the kit and the wood that I had was oversized 3/4.

hehehe, anyway the half blind dovetails seem to look much better on projects as such... the half blind dovetails is so much nicer in lots of ways and is often harder to perfect.
I can hardly miss a thread that has dovetails in the title... it is like a magnet for me

The wood board itself isn't perfect, has very fine/small cracks but it seems to add character to the wood.
