Just realized I wasted $400 on a dovetail jig I barely use

I bought a fancy Leigh dovetail jig two years ago thinking I'd crank out custom drawers like the pros. Turns out I still reach for my old router template 9 times out of 10 because it's faster to set up and I don't need museum-quality joints for shop cabinets. Anyone else got a tool that looked great on paper but collects dust?

The Leigh jig was my white whale too. I finally sold mine on Craigslist after it sat for a year and put the money towards a good bandsaw fence. Sometimes you just have to admit a tool doesn't fit your workflow.

Did you at least try to build a birdhouse with it first?
