Having some difficulty making accurate dovetails I decided one of my problems was marking up the dovetail, I don't know if this one has been done before but I made the following marker:
1. Cut a small piece of hardboard (masonite) 3mm thick with 8 degree cuts down both sides.
2. Attached two arms with glue and screws to the hardboard, across top.
3. To create a clean & tight edge I put some brass angle to the edge of the 8 degree sides with superglue. ( could have also used strip brass)
Voila:-
Longer arms could have been attached if larger work envisaged.
