Scarf Joint Jig Details

Here are a few more details of the scarf joint jig. and a couple of pics so you can see how the saw sits in the jig. I don't think the thickness of either piece of plywood matters as long as the top piece is thick enough to act as a guide for the saw. See previous post for more pictures of the jig.

Here's a shot with a 1"x2"x3' poplar stick in position. The stick has not been measured yet it is just in place to show where it goes.
