I'm in the process of building the coffee table for SWMBO. She seen the one Bruce Johnson made on TV and liked it so that's what I'm making. Anyway finally used the Beadlock jig and not sure what I did wrong but almost ruined the project. I did as the directions said and marked the legs and rails and then drilled the holds in two of the legs and the side rails. When I went to dry fit them everything was way off and cocked. All the holes were one hole off and it was crooked. I had to eyeball and re-drill a extra hole in the side rails to make it fit. Almost turned the oak into scraps. Still don't know what I did wrong. I guess next on the shopping list will be a mortiser and tenon jig.
