I need a new Jig

Since I decided to build my own cabinet drawer boxes, I needed to come up with a way to make them....  I don't have a dovetail jig and with router bits it would run almost $200 for a good setup.   I decided to use box joint joinery for the drawer box sides.   The are strong and can be made simply and reliably using just a table saw and a dado blade along with a homemade jig.   I found plans for a nice jig and started putting it together.

9 solid Alder drawer boxes from Barker door would run $363 plus shipping.  
4 @ 15x4x22
1 @ 12x4x22
1 @ 8x4x22
3 @ 19x2x24
The Alder costs for the drawers is estimated at $82.
