ABSTRACT:
A modular panel can used either as a pattern plate or a template to create a pattern plate in the fabrication of dovetail joints. This panel is a planar member having a generally rectangular shape, including a pair of sides, a left edge, and a right edge. The panel defines a first plurality of elongated openings positioned adjacent one of the sides of the panel, each of said openings extending between oppositely disposed first and second circular ends, said openings being used as a guide to cut the tails of a dovetail joint. The panel further defines a second plurality of openings positioned adjacent the other side of the panel. These openings are used as a guide to cut the pins of a dovetail joint. Additionally, the panel defines "half-openings" along its left and right edges. Thus, when two panels are placed side-by-side, the adjacent half-openings form the above described first and second elongated openings, thereby allowing a series of panels to be used to create dovetail joints of an indefinite length.
