All these timber joints are quick and easy to make because there is no measuring or marking of holes.

The Ozzie Jig consists of six parts:

Two guideblocks made from case-hardened steel; One spacer plate; One threaded clamping strip; One end-stop; One 45 degree angle plate; together with four socket head cap screws - two at 50mm x 6mm and two at 90mm x 6mm. Also washers and nuts used as spacers for adjustment between guideblocks and allen key. The overall size of the jig is approximately 140mm long x 75mm wide and weighs 1.30kg.
